Habitat Selection and Population Trends of the Torngat Mountains Caribou Herd
Project
Organization:
Project Description:We fitted 9 Argos and 26 global positioning system (GPS)-collars on 35 adult caribou (25 female, 10 male) from the declining Torngat Mountains caribou herd in northern Quebec...
Habitat Selection and Population Trends of the Torngat Mountains Caribou Herd
Resource
We fitted collars on 35 adult caribou to assess seasonal habitat selection at 2 spatial scales, current and future population trends, and interactions with the neighboring migratory caribou herd.
Harvesting Surface Vegetation Does Not Impede Self-Recovery of Sphagnum Peatlands
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...
Harvesting Surface Vegetation does not Impede Self‐Recovery of Sphagnum Peatlands
Resource
Ecosystem restoration frequently involves the reintroduction of plant material in the degraded ecosystem. When there are no plant nurseries or seeds available on the market, the plant material has to...
Health Survey of Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Northeastern British Columbia, Canada
Resource
Boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are listed as threatened across Canada, and a basic understanding of their health status is lacking. From December 2012 to April 2013, we...
High Prevalence of Prion Protein Genotype Associated with Resistance to Chronic Wasting Disease in One Alberta Woodland Caribou Population
Resource
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease found in deer, elk and moose in North America and since recently, wild reindeer in Norway. Caribou are at-risk to encounter CWD in areas such as...
Human Disturbance Effects and Cumulative Habitat Loss in Endangered Migratory Caribou
Resource
A 2018 academic paper to assess the effects of human disturbance on barren-ground caribou herds. This study focuses on the Leaf River and George River herds in northern Quebec and Labrador. The paper...
Impact of Heat Advection on the Thermal Regime of Roads Built on Permafrost
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...
Impacts of Spruce Budworm Defoliation on the Habitat of Woodland Caribou, Moose, and Their Main Predators
Resource
Forest logging has contributed to the decline of several woodland caribou populations by causing the fragmentation of mature coniferous stands. Such habitat alterations could be worsened by spruce...
Increased Nutrient Availability Speeds up Permafrost Development, While Goose Grazing Slows it Down in a Canadian High Arctic Wetland
Resource
1. It is of prime importance to understand feedbacks due to the release of carbon (C) stored in permafrost soils (permafrost-climate feedback) and direct impacts of climatic variations on permafrost...
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
In-situ Recovery Process Fluids
Resource
Heavy oils produced from the Alberta oil sands contain cyclic organic compounds together with sulphur and nitrogen. Upon thermal treatment they have potential to form carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxi
Invasion, Establishment, and Range Expansion of Two Parasitic Nematodes in the Canadian Arctic
Resource
Climate warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate in the Arctic and is having profound effects on host-parasite interactions, including range expansion. Recently, two species of protostrongylid...
Large-scale Prion Protein Genotyping in Canadian Caribou Populations and Potential Impact on Chronic Wasting Disease Susceptibility
Resource
Here, we report the prevalence and distribution of R. tarandus prion protein polymorphisms obtained from 986 caribou samples from BC, Yukon, NT, Nunavut and Saskatchewan
Large-scale Probabilistic Identification of Boreal Peatlands Using Google Earth Engine, Open-access Satellite Data, and Machine Learning
Resource
The resulting peatland occurrence model shows an accuracy of 87% compared to our validation data set. Differentiating peatlands from mineral wetlands achieved an accuracy of 69%.
