Comparison of Woodland Caribou Calving Areas Determined by Movement Patterns Across Northern Ontario
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...
Conceptual Models as Tools for Communication Across Disciplines
Resource
This paper suggests that researchers can improve interdisciplinary science through the use of conceptual models as a communication tool. The authors share lessons from a workshop in which...
Controls on Methylmercury Concentrations in Lakes and Streams of Peatland-Rich Catchments Along a 1700 km Permafrost Gradient
Resource
Permafrost thaw may increase the production of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in northern peatlands, but the downstream delivery of MeHg is uncertain. We quantified total mercury (THg) and MeHg...
Current State of Knowledge and Research on Woodland Caribou in Canada
Resource
Abstract Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) is a species of deer that lives in the tundra, taiga, and forest habitats at high latitudes in the northern hemisphere, including areas of Russia and Scandinavia...
Delaying Conservation Actions Matters for Species Vulnerable to Climate Change
Resource
Abstract Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species or populations at risk from global climate change, but few translate impact assessments to climate change...
Evaluating Indices of Nutritional Condition for Caribou (Rangifer tarandus): Which are the Most Valuable and Why?
Resource
Body composition studies are critical for evaluating the accuracy of nutritional condition indices for predicting body components. We evaluated >40 indices of nutritional condition for caribou (...

Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...

Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
Seasonal Patterns in Nutritional Condition of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Southern Northwest Territories and Northeastern British Columbia, Canada
Resource
Study sampled three measures of nutritional condition of adult female caribou, evaluated the effect of calf-rearing on condition and developed an annual profile of nutritional condition.
State-dependent Foraging by Caribou With Different Nutritional Requirements
Resource
A 14-page academic paper that examines the connection between the physiological state of caribou and how they feed. The paper says, "Foraging time by caribou was partially state-dependent...
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
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...
Video - The Potential Importance of Nutrition in Habitat Conservation Programs for Caribou
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop in September 2012, John Cook presented some results from ongoing research done by a team from the US, Ontario and BC that looked at the role of nutrition in caribou survival and the implications for habitat conservation programs.
