Conservation of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Canada: An Uncertain Future
Resource
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus (L., 1758)) play a central role in the ecology and culture of much of Canada, where they were once the most abundant cervid. Most populations are currently declining, and...
Continental Synchrony and Local Responses: Climatic Effects on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Calving in a Social Ungulate
Resource
Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked to observed population...
