Caribou and Reindeer Migrations in the Changing Arctic
Resource
Caribou and reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, are the most numerous and socio-ecologically important terrestrial species in the Arctic. Their migrations are directly and indirectly affected by the seasonal...
Chronic Wasting Disease and Caribou Conservation: Online Engagement Session
Event
Event Date and Time
July 17th, 2021 at 4:00pm EST to July 17th, 2021 at 5:00pm EST
Organization
We are working to raise awareness about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), encourage participation in Alberta’s CWD surveillance program, and provide some tips on how to prevent the spread of CWD in...
Continental Synchrony and Local Responses: Climatic Effects on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Calving in a Social Ungulate
Resource
Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked to observed population...
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...

Live from the Scotty Creek Research Station in the Northwest Territories, celebrating World Peatland Day. For Peat's Sake is a podcast run by PhD student Becca Frei, who explores the wonders of...
Increasing Fire Frequency and Severity Will Increase Habitat Loss for a Boreal Forest Indicator Species
Resource
Climate change will lead to more frequent and more severe fires in some areas of boreal forests, affecting the distribution and availability of late-successional forest communities. These forest...
Seasonal Patterns of Spatial Fidelity and Temporal Consistency in the Distribution and Movements of a Migratory Ungulate
Resource
How animals use their range can have physiological, ecological, and demographic repercussions, as well as impact management decisions, species conservation, and human society. Fidelity, the...
Short-term Effects of Wildfire in Boreal Peatlands: Does Fire Mitigate the Linear Footprint of Oil and Gas Exploration?
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...
Tactical Departures and Strategic Arrivals: Divergent Effects of Climate and Weather on Caribou Spring Migrations
Resource
A 2019 academic paper that looks at factors affecting caribou migration timing and speed. The paper concludes that later arrival at calving grounds might indicate that females are in worse condition...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
The Role of Weather and Long-Term Prey Dynamics as Drivers of Wolf Population Dynamics in a Multi-Prey System
Resource
As climate change accelerates in northern latitudes, there is an increasing need to understand the role of climate in influencing predator-prey systems. We investigated wolf population dynamics and...
