Loss of Connectivity Among Island-dwelling Peary Caribou Following Sea Ice Decline
Resource
Global warming threatens to reduce population connectivity for terrestrial wildlife through significant and rapid changes to sea ice. Using genetic fingerprinting, we contrasted extant connectivity in...
Novel Multilayer Network Analysis to Assess Variation in the Spatial Co-occurrences of Close Kin in Wild Caribou Populations
Resource
Abstract Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk populations. In recent...
Parallel Evolution of Site‐specific Changes in Divergent Caribou Lineages
Resource
The parallel evolution of phenotypes or traits within or between species provides important insight into the basic mechanisms of evolution. Genetic and genomic advances have allowed investigations...
Peat Fest 2022
Event
Event Date and Time
August 30th, 2022 at 12:00am to September 4th, 2022 at 11:59pm
Organization
Welcome to Peat-Fest 2022! The theme of this year’s Peat-Fest is Rights of Peatlands, so we’ll be taking inspiration from the incredible global successes of the Rights of Nature movement and...
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...
Review of Revegetation Practices for Oil and Gas Disturbances in Western Canada
Resource
Various methods have been developed and used to revegetate sites disturbed by oil and gas activities in Western Canada. Considerable information describing these methods and their effectiveness exists...
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 Dynamics Of The Rise And Fall Of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) In Newfoundland
Resource
Understanding the relationship between abundance and distribution is central to ecology but mayr require broad-scale observations, especially for long-lived, mobile animals like caribou (Rangifer...
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...
The Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Overview of the oil sands, current commercial developments, experimental work, an overview of Fort McMurray and the role of government agencies in development and management of oil sands.
The Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genome
Resource
Paper outlines the sequencing of the genome from a male boreal caribou from Manitoba, Canada.
