Habitat Selection- Forty Mile Caribou in the Dawson Region, Late Winter
Resource
A 30-page report from 2012 on the Yukon portion of the herd’s range. It includes discussion of the potential impacts of forest fires. This resource and others can be found on the Northern Caribou...
How Linear Features Alter Predator Movement and the Functional Response
Resource
In areas of oil and gas exploration, seismic lines have been reported to alter the movement patterns of wolves (Canis lupus). We developed a mechanistic first passage time model, based on an...
Hydrological Functions of a Peatland in a Boreal Plains Ecosystem
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...
Implementation of Contaminated Water Management System Upgrades to Allow for Dewatering of Two Open Pits at the Vangorda Plateau, Faro Mine Complex, Yukon
Resource
The Vangorda Plateau at the Faro Mine Complex contains two open pits that, starting in 2013, will both require dewatering. Since mine abandonment in 1998, water levels in Vangorda pit have been...
Improving Widescale Monitoring of Ectoparasite Presence in Northern Canadian Wildlife with the Aid of Citizen Science
Resource
Surveying ticks on wildlife hosts consistently over time and across space presents many challenges. In Yukon, Canada, the winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus, is a blood-feeding parasite that can...
Incorporating Mechanism into Conservation Actions in an Age of Multiple and Emerging Threats: The Case of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Conservation strategies for imperiled species are frequently based on identifying and addressing the probable causes of population decline, an approach known as the declining population paradigm...
Increasing Fire Frequency and Severity Will Increase Habitat Loss for a Boreal Forest Indicator Species
Resource
Climate change will lead to more frequent and more severe fires in some areas of boreal forests, affecting the distribution and availability of late-successional forest communities. These forest...
INFOGRAPHIC: Evaluating the Impact of Caribou Habitat Restoration on Predator and Prey Movement
Resource
In the paper 'Evaluating the impact of caribou habitat restoration on predator and prey movement', the authors evaluated movement responses of wolves, black bears, caribou, and moose on seismic lines...
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
Inuit Knowledge of Long-term Changes in a Population of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Indigenous peoples possess knowledge about wildlife that dates back many generations. Inuit observations of historical changes in a caribou population on southern Baffin Island, collected from 43...
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Project
Organization:
This PhD project used Inuit knowledge and aerial survey data across many years to analyse distribution, forage selection, foraging ecology, and physical condition of caribou in the arctic.
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) are affected by density-dependent and -independent processes at various temporal scales. Populations residing on Arctic tundra can be affected by both density-independent...
Merging Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge Links Climate with the Growth of a Large Migratory Caribou Population
Resource
Climate change in the Arctic is two to three times faster than anywhere else in the world. It is therefore crucial to understand the effects of weather on keystone arctic species, particularly those...
Modelling Transverse Mixing of Sediment and Vanadium in a River Impacted by Oil Sands Mining Operations
Resource
A novel, quasi-two-dimensional surface water-quality modelling approach is presented in which the model domain can be discretised in two dimensions, but a one-dimension solver can still be applied 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...
Nested Population Structure of Threatened Boreal Caribou Revealed by Network Analysis
Resource
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their...
Northern Biochar for Northern Remediation and Restoration
Resource
Biochar is a soil amendment that results from heating various biological ingredients, such as wood, fish or animal bone under oxygen limited conditions and has proven to promote plant growth, as well...
