A Literature Review for Monitoring Rare and Elusive Species, and Recommendations on Survey Design for Monitoring Boreal Caribou
Resource
Effective wildlife management requires monitoring changes in the spatial distribution of species, their population size and their population trend (Williams et al. 2002; Sinclair et al. 2006)...
A Three-Pronged Approach that Leans on Indigenous Knowledge for Northern Fish Monitoring and Conservation
Resource
Investigating whether changes within fish populations may result from harvesting requires a comprehensive approach, especially in more data-sparse northern regions. Our study took a three-pronged...
Estimates of Breeding Females & Adult Herd Size and Analyses of Demographics for the Bluenose-East Herd of Barren-Ground Caribou: 2018 Calving Ground Photographic Survey
Resource
This report describes the results of a calving ground photo survey of the Bluenose-East caribou herd conducted in June of 2018 west of Kugluktuk, Nunavut (NU). The survey objective was to estimate...
Estimates of Caribou Herd Size Using Post-Calving Surveys in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada: A Meta-Analysis
Resource
We analyzed 20 data sets from post-calving surveys in the NWT and NU carried out between 2000 and 2015 using the Rivest estimator. We provide a set of working recommendations to optimize field sampling to ensure reliable estimates of herd size using post-calving methods.
Estimation of Trends in Zone of Influence of Mine Sites on Barren-ground Caribou Populations in the Northwest Territories, Canada, Using New Methods
Resource
The zone of influence (ZOI) is the area in the vicinity of industrial development where avoidance by caribou Rangifer tarandus or other wildlife species is observed. Here we examine ZOI around two...
Influence of Operational Sex Ratio and Male Age on Mating Competition Intensity in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus)
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...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Influence of Operational Sex Ratio on the Intensity of Competition in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) during Rut: An Experimental Approach
Resource
We examined how manipulating operational sex ratio (OSR: the ratio of reproductively active males to fertilizable females), could affect the intensity of competition in reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus)...
Thresholds in the Capacity of Boreal Caribou to Cope with Cumulative Disturbances: Evidence From Space Use Patterns
