Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have we got it Right Yet?
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...
Nutrition Integrates Environmental Responses of Ungulates
Resource
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...
On the Marginal Value of Swimming in Woodland Caribou
Resource
During fieldwork on 30 May 2017, we observed an unmarked adult male caribou swim between two smaller islands, a distance of 470 m, which took approximately 9 minutes. Given that swimming is...
On the Role of Peat Bogs as Components of Indigenous Cultural Landscapes in Northern North America
Resource
This article explores uses of peat bogs and associated plants and other resources by drawing on the published ethnobotanical and archeological literature pertaining to Indigenous groups that lived and...
Potential Conflict between Future Development of Natural Resources and High-value Wildlife Habitats in Boreal Landscapes
Resource
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...
Predation Risk for Boreal Woodland Caribou in Human-modified Landscapes: Evidence of Wolf Spatial Responses Independent of Apparent Competition
Resource

Preliminary Results Presentation: Influence of Forest Harvesting on Predator-prey Dynamics Among Mountain Caribou, Sympatric Ungulates, and Predators
Resource
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..
Proactive Conservation of High-value Habitat for Woodland Caribou and Grizzly Bears in the Boreal Zone of British Columbia, Canada
Resource
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...

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

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 Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
“The Caribou Taste Different Now": Inuit Elders Observe Climate Change
Resource
In full colour with photos of the 145 contributing Inuit elders, “The Caribou Taste Different Now” grounds the discussions, debates, and discourses about climate change to material and everyday life in the contemporary Canadian Arctic.
