A Long Time Ago in the Future: Caribou and The People of Ungava: Ungava Peninsula Caribou Aboriginal Round Table
Resource
The Indigenous Peoples of Ungava self-organized into the Ungava Peninsula Caribou Aboriginal Round Table (“UPCART” or “the Round Table”) in early 2013. For the first time in human history the Peoples...
Alberta Boreal Deer Project: Final Report
Resource
White-tailed deer expansion in the boreal forest is due to an interaction between less severe winters following climate change, and a substantial forage subsidy provided by widespread anthropogenic features
An Assessment of Sampling Designs Using SCR Analyses to Estimate Abundance of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Abstract Accurately estimating abundance is a critical component of monitoring and recovery of rare and elusive species. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are an increasingly popular method for...
Assessing the Influence of In Situ Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Movement in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta. 2012 Final Report
Resource
With few exceptions, permeability across in situ developments was the main factor affecting caribou movement. Relationship was non-linear, suggesting a minimum threshold of permeability is needed
Assessing the Influence of Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta: 2011 Final Report
Resource
At current levels of industrial development, pipelines and linear features have a very small negative effect on caribou populations compared to the high levels of predation.
Assessing the Suitability of a One-time Sampling Event for Close-kin Mark-recapture: A Caribou Case Study
Resource
Abstract Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture...
Biting Flies and Activity of Caribou in the Boreal Forest
Resource
Habitat loss has been implicated in the decline of forest-dwelling caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), but it is unknown how biting insects, potentially important components of boreal forest habitat...
Determining Sustainable Levels of Cumulative Effects for Boreal Caribou
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Disturbance-mediated Changes to Boreal Mammal Spatial Networks in Industrializing Landscapes
Resource
Abstract Compound effects of anthropogenic disturbances on wildlife emerge through a complex network of direct responses and species interactions. Land-use changes driven by energy and forestry...
DNA Metabarcoding of Faecal Pellets Reveals High Consumption of Yew (Taxus spp.) by Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in a Lichen-poor Environment
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are threatened in Canada because of the drastic decline in population size caused primarily by human-induced landscape changes that decrease habitat and...
Does Connectivity Exist for Remnant Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Along the Lake Superior Coastal Range? Options for Landscape Restoration
Resource
Study of whether animal movement can be discerned, using genetic population and relatedness analyses, within and beyond the Lake Superior Coastal Range.
Effects of Progressive Clearcut Logging on Newfoundland Caribou
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Efficient Monitoring of Wildlife Responses to Seismic Line Restoration in the Algar Habitat Restoration Program
Resource
This project has clearly demonstrated the utility of camera trap surveys for monitoring restoration effectiveness in boreal environments. The cameras facilitated the collection of longitudinal data on...
Evolutionary Reconstruction of Peary Caribou Supports the Presence of a Pleistocene Polar Refugium for a Large Mammal Species
Resource
Investigation of the potential existence of Arctic refugia during the Pleistocene for a large mammal species in the Canadian Archipelago.
Experimental Design for Estimating White-Tailed Deer Occupancy, Density, and Habitat Selection in Alberta’s Boreal Forest
Resource
In this year we analyzed the study landscape using GIS, reclassified AVI data into deer habitat categories, and created the experimental design for sampling deer occupancy using remote cameras. We...
Genetic Influences on Male and Female Variance in Reproductive Success and Implications for the Recovery of Severely Endangered Mountain Caribou
Resource
Assessment of three endangered caribou subpopulations using non-invasive genetic sampling to assess demographic population changes.
Genomic Population Structure and Inbreeding History of Lake Superior Caribou
Resource
Abstract Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) have experienced dramatic declines in both range and population size across Canada over the past century. Boreal caribou ( R. t. caribou), 1 of the 12...
Genomic research at Trent University identifies distinct caribou ecotypes
News
Funding from Ontario’s Species at Risk Stewardship Program has allowed researchers to investigate the genomic fingerprints of Boreal, Eastern Migratory, and Lake Superior caribou. Analysis of genetic...
