Nested Population Structure of Threatened Boreal Caribou Revealed by Network Analysis
Resource
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their...
Permafrost Thaw Causes Large Carbon Loss in Boreal Peatlands While Changes to Peat Quality are Limited
Resource
Rapid, ongoing permafrost thaw of peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone is exposing a globally significant store of soil carbon (C) to microbial processes. Mineralization and release of this...
Proposed Criteria and Indicators of Ecosystem Function for Reclaimed Oils Sands Sites
Resource
Report describes a comprehensive, meaningful and cost-effective list of indicators of forest ecosystem function, including a description of how they might be used to assess reclamation success
Provisioning Time and Central-place Foraging in Beavers
Resource
This study tested the effect of provisioning time by providing beavers in experimental enclosures with equal frequencies of saplings at various distances from the lodge and we compared the patterns of...
Reclamation Monitoring in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of Canada Using a Long-term Plot Network
Resource
A long-term plot network would allow the monitoring data to describe the ecological condition of the reclaimed lands and define appropriate management strategies for achieving revegetation goals
Selection for Forage and Avoidance of Risk by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) at Coarse and Local Scales
Resource
The relationship between selection at coarse and fine spatiotemporal spatial scales is still poorly understood. Some authors claim that, to accommodate different needs at different scales, individuals...
Semi-aquatic Mammals: Annotated Bibliography
Resource
Annotated bibliography contains 776 entries grouped under the species: muskrat, beaver, mink, and otter
Space-use Behaviour of Woodland Caribou Based on a Cognitive Movement Model
Resource
Movement patterns offer a rich source of information on animal behaviour and the ecological significance of landscape attributes. This is especially useful for species occupying remote landscapes...
Taking Care of Caribou: The Cape Bathurst, Bluenose-West, and Bluenose-East Barren-ground Caribou Herds Management Plan
