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 Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genome
Resource
Paper outlines the sequencing of the genome from a male boreal caribou from Manitoba, Canada.
The Long Road to Protecting Critical Habitat for Species at Risk: The Case of Southern Mountain Woodland Caribou
Resource
Identifying habitat that is essential to the recovery of species at risk, known as critical habitat, is a major focus of species at risk legislation, yet there has been little research on the degree...
The Role of Introgression and Ecotypic Parallelism in Delineating Intraspecific Conservation Units
Resource
Abstract: Parallel evolution can occur through selection on novel mutations, standing genetic variation or adaptive introgression. Uncovering parallelism and introgressed populations can complicate...
The Umbrella Value of Caribou Management Strategies for Biodiversity Conservation in Boreal Forests Under Global Change
Resource
Abstract Single-species conservation management is often proposed to preserve biodiversity in human-disturbed landscapes. How global change will impact the umbrella value of single-species management...

Graduate student theses produced at Trent University.
Video - Wolves, Deer and Beaver: Implications of Prey Enrichment and Seasonal Prey Switching for Woodland Caribou Declines
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop held in September 2012, Kyle Knopff presented research done researchers from the University of Alberta, University of Montana and Golder Associates Ltd.
Webinar - Application of Integrated Population Models for Conservation of at-risk Caribou Populations
Resource
Population monitoring can take many different forms, and monitoring elusive and endangered species frequently involves a variety of sparse data from different sources. Small populations are often hard...
Webinar - Continental and Regional Patterns in Caribou Resource Selection Across a Wide Gradient of Fire Frequency
Resource
More frequent and severe fires are creating winter habitat loss for caribou. Caribou avoid burn areas in winter.
Webinar - Effectiveness of Population-based Recovery Actions for Threatened Southern Mountain Caribou

Organization
Recovery actions have steered southern mountain caribou away from extinction, but we still have a long way to go. Researchers pooled data from over fifty years to follow the fate of 40 caribou herds...
Webinar - Habitat Loss on Seasonal Migratory Range Imperils an Endangered Ungulate: Implications for Redefining Critical Habitat for Mountain Caribou
Resource
Using a telemetry location dataset spanning 1981 – 2018, we tested for changes in prevalence of migratory tactics (resident, migrant) over time, switching between tactics, shifts in seasonal space-use...
Webinar - New Development in Genomics Methods to Inform on Caribou Population Demography
Resource
Information on the size, distribution and trend of wildlife populations are key parameters when assessing the status of wildlife species. Quantifying the impacts of natural and anthropogenic...
“We’re Made Criminals Just to Eat off the Land”: Colonial Wildlife Management and Repercussions on Inuit Well-Being
Resource
This study characterizes Inuit-caribou relationships; explores Inuit perspectives on how caribou have been managed; and identifies opportunities for sustaining the Mealy Mountain Caribou. Abstract...
Wetland Offsetting: Emergent Protocols and Techniques for Prioritizing Site-specific Wetland Services
Resource
Wetland loss in southern Ontario, escalated by development, is putting pressure on planners as they struggle to meet development needs while maintaining a balance with regional natural heritage...
When the Protection of a Threatened Species Depends on the Economy of a Foreign Nation
Resource
A significant challenge of conservation biology is to preserve species in places where their critical habitat also attracts significant economic interest. The problem is compounded when species...
Whole Genome Sequences from Non-invasively Collected Caribou Faecal Samples
Resource
This study presents a method to extract DNA from the mucosal layer of caribou faecal samples to re-sequence high coverage whole genomes. Quality metrics were similar between caribou faecal and tissue
Whose Line Is It Anyway? Moose (Alces alces) Response to Linear Features
Resource
Linear features are pervasive across the boreal forest of Canada, negatively impacting several wildlife species. Understanding how wildlife responds to different types and characteristics of linear...
Widespread Declines in Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Continue in Alberta
Resource
Nowhere across Canada is the continued persistence of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) more uncertain than in Alberta due to widespread industrial development. A recent...
