Defining Parasite Biodiversity at High Latitudes of North America: New Host and Geographic Records for Onchocerca Cervipedis (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in Moose and Caribou
Resource
Onchocerca cervipedis is a filarioid nematode of cervids reported from Central America to boreal regions of North America. It is found primarily in subcutaneous tissues of the legs, and is more...
Delaying Conservation Actions Matters for Species Vulnerable to Climate Change
Resource
Abstract Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species or populations at risk from global climate change, but few translate impact assessments to climate change...
Demographic Responses of a Threatened, Low-density Ungulate to Annual Variation in Meteorological and Phenological Conditions
Resource
Study highlights the increased relevance of recovery actions when adverse climatic conditions are likely to negatively affect caribou demography.
Determining Sustainable Levels of Cumulative Effects for Boreal Caribou
Resource

Dynamic Patterns in Winter Ungulate Browse Succession in the Boreal Plains of Alberta
Resource
Examines changes in winter browse richness, evenness, abundance, and community composition, as well as their use (browse levels) by moose and white-tailed deer, over a 150-year post-wildfire period
Ecologically-based Criteria to Assess the Impact and Recovery of Seismic Lines: The Importance of Width, Regeneration, and Seismic Density
Resource
We conducted a series of surveys to evaluate wildlife responses to different types of seismic lines in bogs, conifer‐dominated, mixedwood and deciduous forests in the western boreal forest. Research...

Effects of Fire Severity and Woody Debris on Tree Regeneration for Exploratory Well Pads in Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) Forests
Resource
This study compares the effects of wildfire and local variation in the amount of residual woody debris on natural regeneration in jack pine on exploratory well pads in Alberta’s boreal forest.
Effects of Wildfire and Soil Compaction on Recovery of Narrow Linear Disturbances in Upland Mesic Boreal Forests
Resource
Energy exploration has led to fragmentation of habitats worldwide. In boreal forests of Alberta, Canada narrow clear-cut linear disturbances (3–14 m wide) called seismic lines are often the largest...

Estimating Lichen Biomass in Forests and Peatlands of Northwestern Canada in a Changing Climate
Resource
Climate warming in the North could lead to lichen decline within critical woodland caribou habitat. We used repeat measurements of sixty-nine plots over ten years (2007–2008 and 2017–2018) to assess...
Ethics in Community Based Monitoring and Knowledge Coproduction
Resource
A two-day workshop “Ethical Space for Knowledge Coproduction: Workshop on Ethics in Community Based Monitoring” brought together 60 people from February 12-13, 2019, at the University of Alberta on...
Evaluating Functional Recovery of Habitat for Threatened Woodland Caribou
Resource
Habitat restoration is a core element for the recovery of many declining species. In western Canada, habitat restoration for the recovery of woodland caribou is focused on linear features (LFs)...
