A Before-After Dose-Response (BADR) Terrestrial Biological Monitoring Framework for the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the theme areas monitored within the OSM program is terrestrial biodiversity, known programmatically as Terrestrial Biological Monitoring (TBM). Biodiversity refers to the diversity of wild...
Amendment of Gold Mine Tailings with Modified Humic Substances to Promote Soil Development and Plant Growth
Resource
To promote the establishment of vegetation, modified humic substances were added to gold mine tailings in rates of 2 g C kg -1, 3 g C kg -1 and 4 g C kg -1 tailings as an amendment. Growth chamber and...
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Describing Biological Diversity
Project

Organization:
This PhD project use multiple disciplinary traditions to develop comprehensive and united representations of caribou variation through an exploration of population genetics, phylogenetics, traditional...
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Describing Biological Diversity
Resource
Abstract The concept of biodiversity – the phenotypic and genotypic variation among organisms – is central to conservation biology. There is growing recognition that biodiversity does not exist in...
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...
Collaborative research and monitoring of migratory Eastern Cape Chruchill caribou
Project
Organization:
The Cape Churchill caribou herd, part of the Eastern Migratory caribou population, resides along the western coast of Hudson Bay and has been largely unstudied. However, they are locally important to...
Combining Science and Traditional Ecological Knowledge: Monitoring Populations for Co-Management
Resource
Using a combination of traditional ecological knowledge and science to monitor populations can greatly assist co-management for sustainable customary wildlife harvests by indigenous peoples. Case...
Creative Convergence: Exploring Biocultural Diversity Through Art
Project

This project demonstrates how visual art can be used in combination with scientific and social science methods to examine the biocultural landscape of the Sahtú region of the Northwest Territories...
Creative Convergence: Exploring Biocultural Diversity Through Art
Resource
Demonstration of how visual art can be used in combination with scientific and social science methods to examine the biocultural landscape of the Sahtú region of the Northwest Territories, Canada.
Demographic Declines Over Time and Variable Responses of Breeding Bird Populations to Human Footprint in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Habitat loss and disturbance from industrial resource development may be contributing to declines in boreal bird populations. We applied hierarchical multi-species models to data from 31 bird species...
Denésoliné (Chipewyan) Knowledge of Barren-Ground Caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) Movements
Resource
Semi-directed interviews relating to the traditional knowledge (TK) of barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) movements were conducted with elders and hunters from the Denésôliné...
Fecal DNA, Hormones, and Pellet Morphometrics as a Noninvasive Method to Estimate Age Class: An Application to Wild Populations of Central Mountain and Boreal Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus Caribou)
Resource
Study tests a noninvasive method via fecal DNA, hormones, and pellet morphometrics to distinguish calf from adult in Central Mountain and Boreal woodland caribou populations.
Genetic Influences on Male and Female Variance in Reproductive Success and Implications for the Recovery of Severely Endangered Mountain Caribou
Resource
Assessment of three endangered caribou subpopulations using non-invasive genetic sampling to assess demographic population changes.
Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship in the Oil Sands Region of Northeastern Alberta
Resource
The MAPS protocol (Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship) was applied in a 2011 pilot program in the boreal forest in the oil sands region
Monitoring Barren-Ground Caribou Body Condition with Denésǫłıné Traditional Knowledge
Resource
Information from aboriginal elders and hunters on changes in barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) body condition can assist current management systems. Interviews with Denésǫłiné elders and...
Organic Amendment Effects on Productivity of Wellsites Reclaimed with Suboptimal Topsoil Replacement Depth in Northeasten Alberta
Resource
Reclamation and revegetation of boreal sites disturbed by oil exploration depend on the availability of topsoil salvaged on-site during the disturbance. For successful reclamation, current regulations...

Resource
The 13th North American Caribou Workshop in 2010 was the venue for a remarkable forum of Aboriginal knowledge holders in which experiences and ideas about caribou research and stewardship were shared...
Peat Loss Collocates with a Threshold in Plant–Mycorrhizal Associations in Drained Peatlands Encroached by Trees
Resource
Drainage-induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central mechanistic role. We...
