A Map of Global Peatland Extent Created Using Machine Learning (Peat-ML)
Resource
Peatlands play an integral role in the global carbon and hydrologic cycles and make up 3% of the Earth’s total landscape. Despite their importance, there is a lack of accurate information on the...
A Primary Productivity Hypothesis for Disturbance-mediated Apparent Competition for Boreal Caribou in Canada
Resource
The most widely reported threat to populations of boreal and mountain woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) involves what has come to be known as disturbance-mediated apparent competition...
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
Assessment of Phytoremediation as an In-Situ Technique for Cleaning Oil-Contaminated Sites: Phase II Final Report
Resource
The cold climate and short growing season characteristic of the major oil and gas producing regions of western Canada make it particularly important to conduct phytoremediation research on plants...
Behavioural Responses of Southern Mountain Caribou to Helicopter and Skiing Activities
Resource
Helicopter- and snowcat-supported backcountry skiing is a unique industry that is widespread throughout southern mountain caribou habitat in British Columbia (BC). We analyzed records of helicopter...
Biological Soil Crusts and Native Species for Northern Mine Site Restoration
Resource
The nitrogen cycle is highly sensitive to pollutants and restoration of this biogeochemical pathway is essential to ensure long-term sustainable ecosystems. In a greenhouse trial, the growth and...
Canadian Wetland Inventory using Google Earth Engine: The First Map and Preliminary Results
Resource
Although wetlands provide valuable services to humans and the environment and cover a large portion of Canada, there is currently no Canada-wide wetland inventory based on the specifications defined...
CAN-SAR: A Database of Canadian Species at Risk Information
Resource
Threatened species lists describe the conservation status of species and are key tools used to inform decisions for biodiversity conservation. These lists are rich in information obtained during...
Caribou butts and wolf cameos: How motion-activated cameras may reveal the secrets of a healthy Manitoba herd
News
Organization
Wildlife scientists from two provinces are using motion-activated cameras to try to discern why one caribou population in northern Manitoba appears to be stable while herds are dwindling almost...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
Collection and Analysis of Traditional Ecological Knowledge About a Population of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Aboriginal peoples want their ecological knowledge used in the management of wildlife populations. To accomplish this, management agencies will need regional summaries of aboriginal knowledge about...
Comparative Prevalence and Intensity of Endoparasites in a Dynamic Boreal Ungulate Community
Resource
Surveillance of endoparasites at the host community level is rarely reported for ungulates. Yet, changes in the composition and abundance of species in ungulate assemblages, coupled with environmental...
Comparison of Pre-fire and Post-fire Space Use Reveals Varied Responses by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in the Boreal Shield
Resource
Abstract By regulating successional dynamics in Canada’s boreal forest, fires can affect the distribution of the Threatened woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)). Caribou tend...
