Roads, Logging, and the Large-Mammal Community of an Eastern Canadian Boreal Forest
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...
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Short Term, but High Risk of Predation for Endangered Mountain Caribou During Seasonal Migration
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...
Spatial Differences in Genetic Diversity and Northward Migration Suggest Genetic Erosion Along the Boreal Caribou Southern Range Limit and Continued Range Retraction
Resource
Study assesses changes in genetic diversity and connectivity in areas of high and low anthropogenic activity, across threatened boreal caribou populations in Ontario and Manitoba.
Spatial Familial Networks to Infer Demographic Structure of Wild Populations
Resource
Abstract In social species, reproductive success and rates of dispersal vary among individuals resulting in spatially structured populations. Network analyses of familial relationships may provide...
State-dependent Foraging by Caribou With Different Nutritional Requirements
Resource
A 14-page academic paper that examines the connection between the physiological state of caribou and how they feed. The paper says, "Foraging time by caribou was partially state-dependent...
Straight from the Caribou’s (Rangifer tarandus) Mouth: Detailed Observations of Tame Caribou Reveal New Insights into Summer–autumn Diets
Resource
High-quality habitats for caribou are associated primarily with lichens, but lichens alone fail to satisfy summer nutritional requirements. To evaluate the summer forage value of plant communities...
The Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genome
Resource
Paper outlines the sequencing of the genome from a male boreal caribou from Manitoba, Canada.
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Role of Hummocks in Re-establishing Black Spruce Forest Following Permafrost Thaw
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...
The Role of Introgression and Ecotypic Parallelism in Delineating Intraspecific Conservation Units
Resource
Abstract: Parallel evolution can occur through selection on novel mutations, standing genetic variation or adaptive introgression. Uncovering parallelism and introgressed populations can complicate...

Graduate student theses produced at Trent University.
Video - Caribou Designatable Units in Canada and Implications for Assessment and Recovery
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop in September 2012, Justina Ray discusses the twelve designatable units (DUs) for caribou in Canada.
Video - Not so Peaceful: Quantifying 50 Years of Landscape Change for Caribou Across the Peace Region of British Columbia
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop, held in September 2012, Libby Williamson-Ehlers presented results of research that recorded the landscape change caused by industrial development in the Peace region of north-eastern BC.
Watching, Listening, and Learning to Understand Change: Developing a Community-Based Monitoring (CBM) Initiative in Ontario’s Far North
Resource
Ontario’s Far North is one of the world’s largest and most intact expanses of boreal forest and wetlands. The region has almost no industrial development today, but that could change with plans for...
Weather-based Indices of Parasitic Fly Activity and Abundance for the Bathurst Caribou Post-calving and Summer Range: Users Guide
Resource
A specialized 2014 report on the linkages between climate and levels of insects that bother caribou on the post-calving/summer range of the Bathurst Caribou herd. This resource and others can be found...
Webinar - New Development in Genomics Methods to Inform on Caribou Population Demography
Resource
Information on the size, distribution and trend of wildlife populations are key parameters when assessing the status of wildlife species. Quantifying the impacts of natural and anthropogenic...
