Lowering the Rate of Timber Harvesting to Mitigate Impacts of Climate Change on Boreal Caribou Habitat Quality in Eastern Canada
Resource
This study evaluates how climate change will affect boreal caribou habitat over the 2030–2100 horizon and in a 9.94 Mha study area, using a climate-sensitive simulation ensemble that integrates...
Maintaining Animal Assemblages Through Single-species Management: The Case of Threatened Caribou in Boreal Forest
Resource
With the intensification of human activities, preserving animal populations is a contemporary challenge of critical importance. In this context, the umbrella species concept is appealing because...
Meeting Caribou in the Alpine: Do Moose Compete with Caribou for Food?
Resource
The Atlantic-Gaspesie caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) is an endangered, isolated population that has been declining for decades in response to intensive logging. Timber harvesting has led to a...
Migratory Tundra Caribou Seasonal and Annual Distribution Relative to Thaidene Nene, a National Park Reserve Proposal in the East Arm of Great Slave Lake and Artillery Lake Area, Northwest Territories
Resource
Brief 2011 report on the use of Thaidene Nene National Park (NWT) by the Ahiak and Bathurst herds. This resource and others can be found on the Northern Caribou Canada website. To find more related...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
Parks Canada Extends Seasonal Backcountry Closures in Jasper National Park
News
Organization
In Jasper National Park, caribou and their habitat are protected under Canada’s National Parks Act and Species at Risk Act. Seasonal closures and access restrictions are just one way that Parks Canada...
Parks Canada’s captive caribou breeding program receives approval from review panel
News
Organization
A proposal for a captive breeding program designed to support woodland caribou recovery efforts in Jasper National Park has received approval from a scientific review panel. The program, which will...
Plant Functional Trait Approach to Assess the Persistence of Seismic Line Footprint in Boreal Peatlands of Alberta, Canada
Resource
Understanding the mechanisms that control ecosystem functioning based on taxonomic and functional community composition observed on seismic lines can inform restoration and mitigation measures
Population Dynamics of Caribou Shaped by Glacial Cycles Before the Last Glacial Maximum
Resource
Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high- latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from refugia and...
Population Structure of Threatened Caribou in Western Canada Inferred From Genome-wide SNP Data
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...
Potential Impacts of Climate Change on the Habitat of Boreal Woodland Caribou
Resource
Boreal woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are currently listed as threatened in Canada, with populations in the province of Alberta expected to decline as much as 50 percent over the next 8...
Prioritizing Restoration of Fragmented Landscapes for Wildlife Conservation: A Graph-theoretic Approach
Resource
Exploration for belowground oil and gas deposits in boreal forests of western Canada involves the creation of seismic lines, which are linear disturbances where seismic equipment operates. Seismic...
Restoration of Linear Disturbances From Oil-and-gas Exploration in Boreal Landscapes: How can Network Models Help?
Resource
Abstract In western Canada, decades of oil-and-gas exploration have fragmented boreal landscapes with a dense network of linear forest disturbances (seismic lines). These seismic lines are implicated...

Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West‐Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). Interim Report
Resource
Our primary goal is to address the relative contributions of forestry and oil and gas production to the decline of caribou populations. This knowledge can then be used to develop appropriate...
