A Decision Support Tool for Assessing Cumulative Effects on an Arctic Migratory Tundra Caribou Population
Resource
Using the caribou cumulative effects model, an existing decision support tool, we evaluate 6 alternative development scenarios, from no leasing to full leasing with standard mitigation conditions
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...
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...
Caribou Migration, Subsistence Hunting, and User Group Conflicts in Northwest Alaska: A Traditional Knowledge Perspective
Resource
Abstract Alaska Natives of northwest Alaska are highly dependent on barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) for meeting their nutritional and cultural needs. The Alaska Native village of Noatak...

Organization:
Project Objectives: To document local and traditional knowledge on caribou, caribou hunting, hunting conflicts To support subsistence and caribou resources To have Noatak people give feedback on...
CircumArctic Collaboration to Monitor Caribou and Wild Reindeer
Resource
Caribou and wild reindeer ( Rangifer) are integral to ecology and Aboriginal lives and culture in circumArctic regions. Since reaching peak size in the 1990s, most herds have been declining, while...
Climate Change Reduces Reproductive Success of an Arctic Herbivore Through Trophic Mismatch
Resource
Effective ecological monitoring is central to the sustainability of subsistence resources of indigenous communities. For caribou, Arctic indigenous people's most important terrestrial subsistence...
Contrasts in Use and Perceptions of Biological Data for Caribou Management
Resource
Abstract Attitudes and perceptions toward caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) management practices held by users and managers of the Western Arctic Herd (WAH) in Alaska and the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq herds...

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...
Do Beaver Ponds Increase Methane Emissions Along Arctic Tundra Streams?
Resource
Beaver engineering in the Arctic tundra induces hydrologic and geomorphic changes that are favorable to methane (CH 4) production. Beaver-mediated methane emissions are driven by inundation of...
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.
