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...
Cut vs. Fire: A Comparative Study of the Temporal Effects of Timber Harvest and Wildfire on Ecological Indicators of the Boreal Forest
Resource
Context Large-scale natural disturbances are crucial drivers of ecosystem function and composition for many forested ecosystems. In the last century, the prevalence of anthropogenic disturbances has...
Functional Responses to Anthropogenic Linear Features in a Complex Predator-multi-prey System
Resource
We evaluated functional responses of Threatened boreal woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), moose ( Alces alces), and gray wolves ( Canis lupus) to roads and seismic lines (linear features...
Is Habitat Fragmentation Bad for Biodiversity?

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...
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
Potential Conflict between Future Development of Natural Resources and High-value Wildlife Habitats in Boreal Landscapes
Resource
We used the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area in northeast British Columbia, Canada as a case study to determine potential conflicts between future resource development and high-value habitats of large...
Riparian Classification to Benchmark Reclamation of the Athabasca Oil Sands
Resource
A Riparian Classification and Reclamation Guide (‘Riparian Guide’) was recently produced to direct the re-establishment of riparian ecosystems in areas disturbed by oil sands mining in Alberta, Canada
Straight from the Caribou’s (Rangifer tarandus) Mouth: Detailed Observations of Tame Caribou Reveal New Insights into Summer–autumn Diets
Resource
High-quality habitats for caribou are associated primarily with lichens, but lichens alone fail to satisfy summer nutritional requirements. To evaluate the summer forage value of plant communities...
The Scale of Effect of Landscape Context Varies with the Species’ Response Variable Measured
Resource
Abstract: Context To detect an effect of landscape context on a species’ response, the landscape variables need to be measured within the appropriate distance from the species’ response, i.e. at the...
