A Strong Mitigation Scenario Maintains Climate Neutrality of Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands store 300–600 Pg C, of which approximately half are underlain by permafrost. Climate warming and, in some regions, soil drying from enhanced evaporation are progressively...
Assessing Risk of Mercury Exposure and Nutritional Benefits of Consumption of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Community of Old Crow, Yukon, Canada
Resource
The contamination of traditional foods with chemical pollutants is a challenge to the food security of Aboriginal Peoples. This resource and others can be found on the Northern Caribou Canada website...
Billion Dollar Boreal Woodland Caribou and the Biodiversity Impacts of the Global Oil and Gas Industry
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...
Boreal Caribou Can Coexist with Natural but Not Industrial Disturbances
Resource
Abstract: For species at risk, it is important that demographic models be consistent with our most recent knowledge because alternate model versions can have differing predictions for wildlife and...
Braiding Indigenous Rights and Endangered Species Law
Resource
Endangered species laws effectively prevent species extinction but fall short in restoring abundance for culturally important species. Legal agreements between Indigenous peoples and countries...
Braiding Indigenous Rights and Endangered Species Law for Meaningful Species Recovery - Infographic
Resource
A new Science paper co-produced by Indigenous and Western authors highlights how Indigenous rights can pick up where endangered species laws fall short in recovering species to culturally-meaningful...
Caribou Encounters with Wolves Increase Near Roads and Trails: A Time-to-Event Approach
Resource
1. Caribou and reindeer Rangifer tarandus are declining across North America and Scandinavia in part from wolf Canis lupus-mediated apparent competition with more abundant ungulate prey species. While...
Comparing Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western Science Woodland Caribou Habitat Models
Resource
Negotiating the complexities of wildlife management increasingly requires new approaches, especially where data may be limited. A robust combination of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and...
Comparing Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western Science Woodland Caribou Habitat Models
Resource
Negotiating the complexities of wildlife management increasingly requires new approaches, especially where data may be limited. A robust combination of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and...
Contaminants in Two West Greenland Caribou Populations
Resource
Two caribou populations in West Greenland were sampled and the kidneys, liver and muscle analyzed for contaminants, including aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium and zinc...
Critical Summer Foraging Tradeoffs in a Subarctic Ungulate
Resource
Summer diets are crucial for large herbivores in the subarctic and are affected by weather, harassment from insects and a variety of environmental changes linked to climate. Yet, understanding...
Demographic Responses of Nearly Extirpated Endangered Mountain Caribou to Recovery Actions in Central British Columbia
Resource
Recovering endangered species is a difficult and often controversial task that challenges status-quo land uses. Southern Mountain caribou are a threatened ecotype of caribou that historically ranged...
Effectiveness of Population-Based Recovery Actions for Threatened Southern Mountain Caribou
Resource
Habitat loss is affecting many species, including the southern mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in western North America. Over the last half century, this threatened caribou...
Estimating Ungulate Recruitment and Growth Rates Using Age Ratios
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
