This report provides the details of the construction and application of a set of population and harvest models for boreal caribou in two Wildlife Management Zones and six other areas of interest in...
1. Nutrition influences most aspects of animal ecology: juvenile growth rates and adult mass gain, body condition, probability of pregnancy, over-winter survival, timing of parturition, and neonatal...
This 11 page document is the agreement by the NWT management authorities responsible for the northern population of mountain caribou (woodland caribou in northern mountain habitat) to add the caribou...
A document explaining the new Species at Risk assessment process adopted by the Northwest Territories Species at Risk Committee. The committee has adopted new rules that explain how inputs from...
A 21-page 2016 report on a 2012 aerial survey of Peary caribou and muskoxen on several Arctic islands shared by the NWT and Nunavut. This resource and others can be found on the Northern Caribou...
The presence of contaminants in the Arctic environment has raised concerns regarding levels in wildlife and possible effects on the health of wildlife populations. In addition, contaminants in wild...
Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high- latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from refugia and...
This paper is a review of the ecology of two caribou populations inhabiting predator-free northern islands, Coats and Southampton Island. Findings are analyzed in light of the hypothesis that in...
We used the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area in northeast British Columbia, Canada as a case study to determine potential conflicts between future resource development and high-value habitats of large...
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...
We investigated the effect of three forest-harvest prescriptions on the co-occurrence of caribou, sympatric ungulates, and predators: unharvested old-growth, clearcut harvesting, and group-selection..
Highlights • Maintain connectivity to preserve high-value habitats of caribou and grizzly bears. • Avoiding predation risk does not always maintain intact habitat for caribou. • Conserving most...
This document is a report on progress towards the conservation and recovery of boreal caribou in the Northwest Territories (NWT) from 2017 to 2021. This report meets the legislative requirement for a...
This 70-page recovery strategy for barren-gound caribou in the Northwest Territories lays out plans to help the eight herds covered by the strategy. The strategy was required by the NWT Species at...
The purpose of this recovery strategy is to provide an action-oriented planning tool that identifies how the conservation and recovery of boreal caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou, woodland caribou...
A 2-page fact sheet from the Government of the Northwest Territories explaining the use of radio collars on caribou. Related herds: Beverly and Qamanirjuaq , Bathurst, Bluenose West, Bluenose East...
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...
Study sampled three measures of nutritional condition of adult female caribou, evaluated the effect of calf-rearing on condition and developed an annual profile of nutritional condition.
Abstract In recent years, researchers have increasingly recognized the need to bridge Western and Indigenous knowledge systems to strengthen research in wildlife conservation. Historically, this arena...
