A Decision Support Tool for Assessing Cumulative Effects on an Arctic Migratory Tundra Caribou Population
Resource
Using the caribou cumulative effects model, an existing decision support tool, we evaluate 6 alternative development scenarios, from no leasing to full leasing with standard mitigation conditions
A Financial Analysis of Using Improved Planting Stock of White Spruce and Lodgepole Pine in Alberta, Canada: Genomic Selection Versus Traditional Breeding
Resource
Genomics-assisted tree breeding (GATB) is an emerging biotechnology method that has the potential to produce improved planting stock in selected traits, such as greater volume or higher wood quality...
Behavioral “bycatch” from Camera Trap Surveys Yields Insights on Prey Responses to Human-mediated Predation Risk
Resource
This study used camera trap data to test predictions about predator-sensitive behavior in three ungulate species (caribou Rangifer tarandus; white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus; moose, Alces...
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...

CircumArctic Collaboration to Monitor Caribou and Wild Reindeer
Resource
Caribou and wild reindeer ( Rangifer) are integral to ecology and Aboriginal lives and culture in circumArctic regions. Since reaching peak size in the 1990s, most herds have been declining, while...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
Close Encounters of the Burned Kind: Spatiotemporal Effects of Fire on Habitat Selection Strategies of Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) During Winter
Resource
Forest fire is the primary natural disturbance process influencing the distribution and abundance of terrestrial lichens across ranges of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), including the...

Comparative Prevalence and Intensity of Endoparasites in a Dynamic Boreal Ungulate Community
Resource
Surveillance of endoparasites at the host community level is rarely reported for ungulates. Yet, changes in the composition and abundance of species in ungulate assemblages, coupled with environmental...
