Linear Features, Forestry and Wolf Predation of Caribou and Other Prey in West Central Alberta
Resource
The primary goal of this research was to determine how human activities affect caribou population dynamics through modification of predator‐prey relationships. This knowledge can then be used to...
Linking Habitat, Populations and Policy for Caribou in The Face of Increasing Disturbance
Resource
This thesis analyzes female caribou resource selection response to fires and links disturbances to caribou behavior and demography throughout western Canada by relating resource selection responses to...
Loss of Connectivity Among Island-dwelling Peary Caribou Following Sea Ice Decline
Resource
Global warming threatens to reduce population connectivity for terrestrial wildlife through significant and rapid changes to sea ice. Using genetic fingerprinting, we contrasted extant connectivity in...
Managing Wolves (Canis Lupus) to Recover Threatened Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) in Alberta
Resource
Across Canada, woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in apparent competition-induced...
Moose Response to Disturbance in West-central Alberta
Project
Contact
Organization:
This Caribou Program project examines how moose respond to different re-vegetation trajectories after disturbance. This will give re-vegetation prescriptions that favour moose less, and therefore are...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
Novel Multilayer Network Analysis to Assess Variation in the Spatial Co-occurrences of Close Kin in Wild Caribou Populations
Resource
Abstract Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk populations. In recent...
Parallel Evolution of Site‐specific Changes in Divergent Caribou Lineages
Resource
The parallel evolution of phenotypes or traits within or between species provides important insight into the basic mechanisms of evolution. Genetic and genomic advances have allowed investigations...
Population Dynamics of Caribou Shaped by Glacial Cycles Before the Last Glacial Maximum
Resource
Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high- latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from refugia and...
Population Structure of Caribou in an Ice-bound Archipelago
Resource
This 2018 academic paper suggests that, based on genetics, the Baffin Island population of caribou should be treated as a separate “designatable unit” under the classification system for the Committee...
Population Trend Analysis for Boreal Caribou in SK2 Central using Non-invasive Capture-Recapture Analysis (2007 – 2019)
Resource
"A 3-year population monitoring program was put in place for a study area within SK2 Central covering 16,092 km2 using fecal DNA based capture–recapture methods to estimate population sizes and...
Resource Separation Analysis with Moose Indicates Threats to Caribou in Human Altered Landscapes
Resource
Species recovery is often impeded by inadequate knowledge on mechanisms of community interactions that cause and exacerbate species endangerment. Caribou and wild reindeer Rangifer tarandus are...
