An Assessment of Sampling Designs Using SCR Analyses to Estimate Abundance of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Abstract Accurately estimating abundance is a critical component of monitoring and recovery of rare and elusive species. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are an increasingly popular method for...
Assessing the Suitability of a One-time Sampling Event for Close-kin Mark-recapture: A Caribou Case Study
Resource
Abstract Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture...
Benefits of Fertilization for White Spruce and Lodgepole Pine Trees Depend on the Reclamation Substrate – Overburden vs Tailings Sand
Resource
Nitrogen and complete fertilizer applications improved growth of white spruce on overburden sites. Fertilization did not, however, have an effect on lodgepole pine growth on tailings sand sites
Biting Flies and Activity of Caribou in the Boreal Forest
Resource
Habitat loss has been implicated in the decline of forest-dwelling caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), but it is unknown how biting insects, potentially important components of boreal forest habitat...
Boreal Trees Can Grow on Saline Sites – Implications for Reclamation Success on Saline Soils
Resource
Both aspen and spruce grew on sites with very high salinity and pH deeper in the soil profile (i.e., 40-100cm), so long as surface soils were not highly saline and had adequate moisture and nutrients.
Coarse Woody Debris Increases Microbial Functional Diversity in Reclaimed Soils
Resource
Forest floor mineral soil mix had significantly greater soil microbial functional diversity than peat mineral soil mix. CWD increased microbial biomass and microbial functional diversity in both soil
COSIA In-Situ Oil Sands Shared Practices for Working in and Around Wetlands
Resource
This report compiles a toolbox of shared practices currently in use by COSIA companies, or which have been used but were found to be unsuccessful.
Deciduous Tree Species Classification Using Object-Based Analysis and Machine Learning with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Multispectral 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...
Deeper Soil Salvaging Depths Produce Greater Cover of Native Plants than Shallow Salvage Depths on a Reclaimed Coal Mine Site
Resource
The deeper soil salvage depth (40 cm) was better than the shallow salvage depth (15 cm) at establishing a forest understory plant community characteristic of the boreal forest.
Development of Genomic Resources for Cattails (Typha), a Globally Important Macrophyte Genus
Resource
A critical knowledge gap in freshwater plant research is the lack of genetic tools necessary to answer fundamental questions about their demographic histories, adaptation and phylogenetic...
DNA Metabarcoding of Faecal Pellets Reveals High Consumption of Yew (Taxus spp.) by Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in a Lichen-poor Environment
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are threatened in Canada because of the drastic decline in population size caused primarily by human-induced landscape changes that decrease habitat and...
Does Connectivity Exist for Remnant Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Along the Lake Superior Coastal Range? Options for Landscape Restoration
Resource
Study of whether animal movement can be discerned, using genetic population and relatedness analyses, within and beyond the Lake Superior Coastal Range.
Effects of Progressive Clearcut Logging on Newfoundland Caribou
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...
EMEND for Schools: 360 Video and Teaching Resources
Resource
The Emend for Schools: 360° Video EMEND Tour Teachers Resource is a full lesson plan and 360 immersive and interactive video teaching tool, including a teacher lesson plan and student workbook aligned...
Evolutionary Reconstruction of Peary Caribou Supports the Presence of a Pleistocene Polar Refugium for a Large Mammal Species
Resource
Investigation of the potential existence of Arctic refugia during the Pleistocene for a large mammal species in the Canadian Archipelago.
Genetic Influences on Male and Female Variance in Reproductive Success and Implications for the Recovery of Severely Endangered Mountain Caribou
Resource
Assessment of three endangered caribou subpopulations using non-invasive genetic sampling to assess demographic population changes.
Genomic Population Structure and Inbreeding History of Lake Superior Caribou
Resource
Abstract Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) have experienced dramatic declines in both range and population size across Canada over the past century. Boreal caribou ( R. t. caribou), 1 of the 12...
