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...
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 Peary Caribou Presence Predictions in MaxEntUsing Spatialized Snow Simulations
Resource
In this article, the researchers 1) investigate whether a snow model adapted for the Antarctic (SNOWPACK) can produce snow simulations relevant to Canadian High Arctic conditions, and 2) test snow...
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...
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...
Linking Habitat, Predators and Alternative Prey to Explain Recruitment Variations of an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Habitat loss, fragmentation and alteration are frequently identified as important threats to biodiversity, inducing major changes in the structure and composition of species communities and the...
Links Between Individual Performance, Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes in an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Foraging is a key behaviour, and several aspects of foraging remain to be investigated in many wild species. Low energy gain or reduced protein, nutrient, and mineral intake may explain poor...
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...
Open-Source Based Geo-Platform to Support Management of Wetlands and Biodiversity in Quebec
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...
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...
Synopsis Report 2018/19 Arctic Caribou Contaminant Monitoring Program
Resource
This project studies contaminant levels in caribou in the Canadian Arctic to determine if these populations remain healthy (in terms of contaminant loads), whether these important resources remain...
The Extent and Magnitude of Edge Effects on Woody Vegetation in Road-bisected Treed Peatlands in Boreal Alberta, Canada
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...
Three Decades of Caribou Recovery Programs in Yukon: A Paradigm Shift in Wildlife Management
Resource
A relatively brief paper published by the Yukon government in 2009, it summarizes the experience of the managing five different Yukon herds (mostly non-migratory). It suggests that both harvest...
Trophic Niche Partitioning Between Two Prey and Their Incidental Predators Revealed Various Threats for an Endangered Species
Resource
Documenting trophic niche partitioning and resource use within a community is critical to evaluate underlying mechanisms of coexistence, competition, or predation. Detailed knowledge about foraging is...
Video - Caribou Conservation in a Global Context
Resource
Marco Festa-Bianchet presents about some of the factors involved in caribou population declines for forest- and mountain-dwelling caribou.
Vulnerability Analysis of the Porcupine Caribou Herd to Potential Development of the 1002 Lands in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
Resource
A 2019 “vulnerability analysis” on the Porcupine caribou herd (PCH) assessing its vulnerability to oil and gas development in the herd’s calving grounds in Alaska. The analysis found that “...the...
