Governance as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest is primarily public land, owned and managed by provincial governments on behalf of the public interest. Boreal forest governance consists of a complex patchwork of federal...
Grey Wolves (Canis Lupus) Shift Selection of Anthropogenic Landscape Features Following Predator Control in the Nearctic Boreal Forest
Resource
Conserving endangered species sometimes involves killing their predators. In the case of Nearctic wolves (Canis lupus), rarely are lethal control measures examined for ancillary effects on predator...
Grizzly Bear Response to Oil and Gas Activities in Alberta
Resource
In 2010 and 2011, the Foothills Research Institute Grizzly Bear Program (FRIGBP) received funding from the Alberta Upstream Petroleum Research Fund (AUPRF) and other program partners to investigate...
Grizzly Bears and Pipelines: Response to Unique Linear Features
Resource
This report includes results from two years of research investigating grizzly bear response to oil and gas pipelines in the Kakwa region of west-central Alberta. We investigated grizzly bear habitat...
Habitat Alteration or Climate: What Drives the Densities of an Invading Ungulate?
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change are two well-known contributors to biodiversity loss through changes to species distribution and abundance; yet, disentangling the effects of these...
How Do You Build a Better Cutblock for Caribou?
Resource
This infographic by Heather Hinam describes the Caribou Conservation through Better Cutblock Design project by the Caribou Program run by fRI Research. The background, methods, and potential uses for...
Impacts of Climate and Catastrophic Forest Changes on Streamflow and Water Balance in a Mountainous Headwater Stream in Southern Alberta
Resource
Rivers in Southern Alberta are vulnerable to climate change because much of the river water originates as snow in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
In Search of Evidence-based Management Targets: A Synthesis of the Effects of Linear Features on Woodland Caribou
Resource
Abstract Effective species management relies on evidence-based goals that address the processes influencing population demography. These goals therefore require understanding how stressors affect the...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Indigenizing the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
Resource
This article identifies the gaps and linkages between the North American Model of wildlife conservation and Indigenous-led conservation efforts across Canada. Although a diversity of approaches to...
Indigenous-led Conservation: Pathways to Recovery for the Nearly Extirpated Klinse-Za Mountain Caribou
Resource
Indigenous Peoples around the northern hemisphere have long relied on caribou for subsistence, ceremonial, and community purposes. Unfortunately, despite recovery efforts by Federal and Provincial...
Intervention-forward Adaptive Management in the Face of Extinction
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...
Literature Review - Caribou, Fire, and Forestry
Resource
With of goal of understanding how silviculture and harvesting practices might mirror those of natural disturbances, here we summarize research describing differences in responses of caribou and...
Lost in Translation? Insights into Caribou Habitat Selection from Forest Inventory Data
Resource
Abstract The gap between research and its implementation is an impediment to conservation of the environment. Translating science into actionable management and policy requires effective communication...
Mammal Seismic Line Use Varies With Restoration: Applying Habitat Restoration to Species at Risk Conservation in a Working Landscape
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...
Mapping Resource Selection Functions for Caribou and Wolves in the Chinchaga Caribou Range
Resource
We used GPS telemetry location data from 63 adult caribou and 6 adult wolves to build spatially explicit resource selection function (RSF) rasters. These RSF rasters describe the within-home-range...
