Population Dynamics of Caribou Shaped by Glacial Cycles Before the Last Glacial Maximum
Resource
Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high- latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from refugia and...
Population Structure of Caribou in an Ice-bound Archipelago
Resource
This 2018 academic paper suggests that, based on genetics, the Baffin Island population of caribou should be treated as a separate “designatable unit” under the classification system for the Committee...
Population Trend Analysis for Boreal Caribou in SK2 Central using Non-invasive Capture-Recapture Analysis (2007 – 2019)
Resource
"A 3-year population monitoring program was put in place for a study area within SK2 Central covering 16,092 km2 using fecal DNA based capture–recapture methods to estimate population sizes and...
Predator and Prey in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Tracy McKay and Dr. Laura Finnegan. Deer, elk, and moose are apparent competitors for caribou because they draw predators...
Predator–prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry - Summary
Resource
We investigated the attributes of harvest blocks associated with the highest occupancy and/or co-occurrence of ungulates and predators, with the goal of providing practical information for best forest...
Predicting Off-Highway Vehicle Use on Seismic Lines
Resource
This infographic was created by Jennifer Hird as part of the paper " Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts."
Proceedings of a Workshop to Develop a Strategic Plan for a Watershed Assessment Model (WAM)
Resource
Report of proceedings from a workshop to produce a strategic plan for developing a Watershed Assessment Model and identifying key project events.
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...
Spatial Differences in Genetic Diversity and Northward Migration Suggest Genetic Erosion Along the Boreal Caribou Southern Range Limit and Continued Range Retraction
Resource
Study assesses changes in genetic diversity and connectivity in areas of high and low anthropogenic activity, across threatened boreal caribou populations in Ontario and Manitoba.
Spatial Familial Networks to Infer Demographic Structure of Wild Populations
Resource
Abstract In social species, reproductive success and rates of dispersal vary among individuals resulting in spatially structured populations. Network analyses of familial relationships may provide...
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 Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genome
Resource
Paper outlines the sequencing of the genome from a male boreal caribou from Manitoba, Canada.
The Density of Anthropogenic Features Explains Seasonal and Behaviour-based Functional Responses in Selection of Linear Features by a Social Predator
Resource
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate access and travel efficiency for predators, and can influence predator distribution and encounter rates with prey. We used GPS collar data from eight wolf...
