Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
Close Encounters of the Burned Kind: Spatiotemporal Effects of Fire on Habitat Selection Strategies of Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) During Winter
Resource
Forest fire is the primary natural disturbance process influencing the distribution and abundance of terrestrial lichens across ranges of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), including the...
Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind: Landscape Features Associated with Central Mountain Caribou Mortalities
Resource
Abstract In western Canada, anthropogenic disturbances resulting from resource extraction activities are associated with habitat loss and altered predator–prey dynamics. These habitat changes are...
Community-level Modelling of Boreal Forest Mammal Distribution in an Oil Sands Landscape
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...
Comparative Prevalence and Intensity of Endoparasites in a Dynamic Boreal Ungulate Community
Resource
Surveillance of endoparasites at the host community level is rarely reported for ungulates. Yet, changes in the composition and abundance of species in ungulate assemblages, coupled with environmental...
Cumulative Effects and Boreal Woodland Caribou: How Bow-Tie Risk Analysis Addresses a Critical Issue in Canada's Forested Landscapes
Resource
Boreal caribou (Woodland Caribou, boreal population; Rangifer tarandus caribou) is a prominent mammal at the heart of a decades-long conflict between a growing resource sector and the associated risks...
Cut vs. Fire: A Comparative Study of the Temporal Effects of Timber Harvest and Wildfire on Ecological Indicators of the Boreal Forest
Resource
Context Large-scale natural disturbances are crucial drivers of ecosystem function and composition for many forested ecosystems. In the last century, the prevalence of anthropogenic disturbances has...
Deer Are Expanding North, and That's Not Good For Caribou
News
Organization
Over the past century, white-tailed deer have greatly expanded their range in North America, explains Melanie Dickie, a doctoral student with UBC Okanagan’s Wildlife Restoration Ecology Lab. In the...
Demographic Responses of Nearly Extirpated Endangered Mountain Caribou to Recovery Actions in Central British Columbia
Resource
Recovering endangered species is a difficult and often controversial task that challenges status-quo land uses. Southern Mountain caribou are a threatened ecotype of caribou that historically ranged...
Determining the Importance of Grizzly Bear Predation on Central Mountain Caribou Populations: Final Report
Resource
To gain a better understanding of possible impacts of grizzly bears on central mountain caribou populations, we investigated three separate but inter-related topics concerning grizzly bear predation...
Determining the Importance of Grizzly Bear Predation on Southern Mountain Caribou Populations
Resource
The goal of this project is to determine to what extent grizzly bear predation might be influencing caribou populations in west-central Alberta. We use existing datasets supplemented with additional...
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Disturbance-mediated Changes to Boreal Mammal Spatial Networks in Industrializing Landscapes
Resource
Abstract Compound effects of anthropogenic disturbances on wildlife emerge through a complex network of direct responses and species interactions. Land-use changes driven by energy and forestry...
Divergent Patterns of Understory Forage Growth After Seismic Line Exploration: Implications for Caribou Habitat Restoration
Resource
Using field data from 351 seismic lines across [Alberta], and focusing on forage taxa preferred by moose and bears, we [investigated the effects of seismic line clearing on forage and resilience]
Do Oil and Gas Activities and Access Control Measures Affect the Distribution, Abundance and Movements of Grizzly Bears?
Resource
To understand how oil and gas activities and access control measures, particularly gates, influences grizzly bears and their habitats in Alberta, we used multiple data sources including spatial layers...
Economic Evaluations of Tree Improvement for Planted Forests: A Systematic Review

Effectiveness of Population-Based Recovery Actions for Threatened Southern Mountain Caribou
Resource
Habitat loss is affecting many species, including the southern mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in western North America. Over the last half century, this threatened caribou...
Efficient Monitoring of Wildlife Responses to Seismic Line Restoration in the Algar Habitat Restoration Program
Resource
This project has clearly demonstrated the utility of camera trap surveys for monitoring restoration effectiveness in boreal environments. The cameras facilitated the collection of longitudinal data on...
Extirpation Despite Regulation? Environmental Assessment and Caribou
Resource
Many caribou populations in Canada face extirpation despite dozens of provincial and federal legislative instruments designed to protect them. How are industrial developments that impact caribou...
