Assessing the Health-fitness Dynamics of Endangered Mountain Caribou and the Influence of Maternal Penning
Resource
Abstract The health of wildlife plays a crucial role in population demography by connecting habitat and physiology. Southern mountain caribou, a population of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus...
Behavioral “bycatch” from Camera Trap Surveys Yields Insights on Prey Responses to Human-mediated Predation Risk
Resource
This study used camera trap data to test predictions about predator-sensitive behavior in three ungulate species (caribou Rangifer tarandus; white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus; moose, Alces...
Boreal Caribou Can Coexist with Natural but Not Industrial Disturbances
Resource
Abstract: For species at risk, it is important that demographic models be consistent with our most recent knowledge because alternate model versions can have differing predictions for wildlife and...
Braiding Indigenous Rights and Endangered Species Law
Resource
Endangered species laws effectively prevent species extinction but fall short in restoring abundance for culturally important species. Legal agreements between Indigenous peoples and countries...
Braiding Indigenous Rights and Endangered Species Law for Meaningful Species Recovery - Infographic
Resource
A new Science paper co-produced by Indigenous and Western authors highlights how Indigenous rights can pick up where endangered species laws fall short in recovering species to culturally-meaningful...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
Close Encounters of the Burned Kind: Spatiotemporal Effects of Fire on Habitat Selection Strategies of Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) During Winter
Resource
Forest fire is the primary natural disturbance process influencing the distribution and abundance of terrestrial lichens across ranges of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), including the...
Community-level Modelling of Boreal Forest Mammal Distribution in an Oil Sands Landscape
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...
Comparative Prevalence and Intensity of Endoparasites in a Dynamic Boreal Ungulate Community
Resource
Surveillance of endoparasites at the host community level is rarely reported for ungulates. Yet, changes in the composition and abundance of species in ungulate assemblages, coupled with environmental...
Cumulative Effects and Boreal Woodland Caribou: How Bow-Tie Risk Analysis Addresses a Critical Issue in Canada's Forested Landscapes
Resource
Boreal caribou (Woodland Caribou, boreal population; Rangifer tarandus caribou) is a prominent mammal at the heart of a decades-long conflict between a growing resource sector and the associated risks...
Deer Are Expanding North, and That's Not Good For Caribou
News
Organization
Over the past century, white-tailed deer have greatly expanded their range in North America, explains Melanie Dickie, a doctoral student with UBC Okanagan’s Wildlife Restoration Ecology Lab. In the...
Demographic Responses of Nearly Extirpated Endangered Mountain Caribou to Recovery Actions in Central British Columbia
Resource
Recovering endangered species is a difficult and often controversial task that challenges status-quo land uses. Southern Mountain caribou are a threatened ecotype of caribou that historically ranged...
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...
Effectiveness of Population-Based Recovery Actions for Threatened Southern Mountain Caribou
Resource
Habitat loss is affecting many species, including the southern mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in western North America. Over the last half century, this threatened caribou...
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...
Extirpation Despite Regulation? Environmental Assessment and Caribou
Resource
Many caribou populations in Canada face extirpation despite dozens of provincial and federal legislative instruments designed to protect them. How are industrial developments that impact caribou...
Grey Wolves (Canis lupus) Shift Selection of Anthropogenic Landscape Features Following Predator Control in the Nearctic Boreal Forest
Resource
Conserving endangered species sometimes involves killing their predators. In the case of Nearctic wolves (Canis lupus), rarely are lethal control measures examined for ancillary effects on predator...
