Migratory Movements of Caribou in Northern Quebec and Labrador
Project
Project Description:This project aims at identifying the determinants of migratory routes and staging areas used by eastern migratory caribou. It will use GPS location data collected on >100 females...
Monitoring Wetland Vegetation and Reclamation Across Space and Time
Resource
Measuring variability in natural processes requires rigorous data collection and could increase the cost of environmental monitoring for oil and gas operators. Recent advances in remote-sensing and...
Moose and Predator Numerical Responses to Anthropogenic Features in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Landscape disturbance is typically synonymous with habitat loss and fragmentation, and subsequent biodiversity loss. However, the effects of landscape disturbance vary among species and disturbance...
'Mothers of the Mountains' - Film Screening
Event
Organization
Join CPAWS Northern Alberta for a screening of the film "Mothers of the Mountains" with artist Caitlin Bodewitz. The film illustrates the integration of traditional knowledge with western science to...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Movement Ecology of Endangered Caribou During a COVID-19 Mediated Pause in Winter Recreation
Resource
Abstract The long-term conservation of species at risk relies on numerous, and often concurrent, management actions to support their recovery. Generally, these actions are habitat-based while others...
Multi-objective Optimization can Balance Trade-offs Among Boreal Caribou, Biodiversity, and Climate Change Objectives when Conservation Hotspots do not Overlap
Resource
The biodiversity and climate change crises have led countries—including Canada—to commit to protect more land and inland waters and to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. Canada is also obligated...
Natal Habitat Preference Induction in Large Mammals—Like Mother, Like Child?
Project
Organization:
Project Description:We used complementary approaches to assess natal habitat preference induction in a marked population of woodland caribou. All approaches compared the behavior of calves in their...
Native Prairie Protocol for Salt-Affected Wellsites Scientific Rationale Document
Resource
There are a large number of oil and gas sites with salts in soil that exceed one or more generic guideline values. The nature of generic guidelines is that, by definition, they do not uniquely...
Novel Multilayer Network Analysis to Assess Variation in the Spatial Co-occurrences of Close Kin in Wild Caribou Populations
Resource
Abstract Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk populations. In recent...
Ontario Not Effectively Protecting Boreal Caribou Habitat: Federal Minister
News
Organization
Global News article by Allison Jones and Liam Casey The Canadian Press. Ontario is failing to effectively protect some of the critical habitat for boreal caribou, Environment Minister Steven...
Ottawa demands caribou protection strategy by May 1
News
Organization
Ottawa will not resume negotiations with Quebec on species at risk until the strategy for protecting the habitat of woodland and mountain caribou is tabled. Federal Minister Steven Guilbeault...
Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) Territory Placement Near Seismic Lines is Influenced by Forest Regeneration and Conspecific Density
Resource
The boreal forest of western Canada is being dissected by seismic lines used for oil and gas exploration. The vast amount of edge being created is leading to concerns that core habitat will be reduced...
Partitioning Drivers of Spatial Genetic Variation for a Continuously Distributed Population of Boreal Caribou: Implications for Management Unit Delineation
Resource
Isolation by distance (IBD) is a natural pattern not readily incorporated into theoretical models nor traditional metrics for differentiating populations, although clinal genetic differentiation can...
Perfluoroalkyl Substances in Circum-Arctic Rangifer: Caribou and Reindeer
Resource
Livers of caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from Canada (n = 146), Greenland (n = 30), Svalbard (n = 7), and Sweden (n = 60) were analyzed for concentrations of eight perfluoroalkyl carboxylic...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
PhytoPet© – A Database of Plants that Play a Role in the Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Resource
The cold climate and short growing season characteristic of the major oil and gas producing regions of western Canada make it particularly important to conduct phytoremediation research on plants...
Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins, Dibenzofurans and Non-ortho Substituted Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) from the Canadian Arctic
Resource
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...
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...
