Seasonal Movements in Caribou Ecotypes of Western Canada
Resource
We aimed at assessing seasonal movement behaviours, including migratory, resident, dispersing, and nomadic, for caribou belonging to the Barren-ground and Woodland subspecies and ecotypes. Our unexpected findings of marked seasonal movement plasticity in caribou indicate that this phenomenon should be better studied to understand the resilience of this endangered species to habitat and climatic changes. Our results that a substantial proportion of individuals engaged in seasonal migration in all studied ecotypes indicate that caribou conservation plans should account for critical habitat in both summer and winter ranges.

Silviculture Treatments Hasten Seedling Growth on Seismic Disturbances in Boreal Treed Fens
Resource
Seismic lines in western Canada's boreal region are linear disturbances that affect the habitat of threatened woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou). To hasten the return of forest cover and...
Source or Sink? Meta-analysis Reveals Diverging Controls of Phosphorus Retention and Release in Restored and Constructed Wetlands
Resource
Wetland restoration is a popular nutrient management strategy for improving water quality in agricultural catchments. However, a wetland’s ability to retain phosphorus is highly variable and wetlands...
Spatial Patterns and Mass Balance of Sodium in Near-surface Peat of a Constructed Fen
Resource
At the Nikanotee Fen Watershed, a pioneering reclamation project in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, elevated sodium (Na+) in the porewater of mine-waste materials has been shown to migrate to the fen...
Spatial Variation in Nutrient Dynamics Among Five Different Peatland Types in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Wetlands are found extensively throughout the Western Boreal Plain, a region under pressure because of disturbance by the oil and gas industries. To understand how wetland systems may respond to...
Species and Areas Under Protection: Challenges and Opportunities for the Canadian Northern Corridor
Resource
This paper is part of a special series in The School of Public Policy Publications, investigating a concept that would connect the nation’s southern infrastructure to a new series of corridors across...
Specifying Caribou Migratory Behaviours to Identify and Preserve Intraspecies Diversity
Resource
Abstract: Preserving intraspecies diversity, a fundamental conservation goal, strengthens species adaptability. Across most of their range, caribou are declining, with some recent population...
Standardized Monitoring of Rangifer Health During International Polar Year
Resource
Monitoring of individual animal health indices in wildlife populations can be a powerful tool for evaluation of population health, detecting changes, and informing management decisions. Standardized...
Subsurface Water Chemistry in Mined Land Reclamation; Key to Development of a Productive Post-mining Landscape
Resource
In reconstructing the landscape during reclamation the sequence and methods of placement of overburden material determine the post-mining subsurface-water chemistry. The type of material at various...
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
