A Framework for Modeling Habitat Quality in Disturbance-prone Areas Demonstrated with Woodland Caribou and Wildfire
Resource
Natural resource managers need adaptable tools for conserving and managing wildlife across landscapes. These tools should use many elements of habitat quality and include natural disturbance, such as...
A Regional Integrated Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change and of the Potential Adaptation Avenues for Quebec’s Forests
Resource
Regional analyses assessing the vulnerabilities of forest ecosystems and the forest sector to climate change are key to consider the heterogeneity of climate change impacts but also the fact that...
A Review of the Intact Forest Landscape Concept in the Canadian Boreal Forest: Its History, Value and Measurement
Resource
Loss of global forest, and in particular forest that has little human disturbance, is a standard against which we measure progress to conserve Earth’s forests. The value of intact forest landscapes...
A Time-series Assessment of Habitat and Connectivity for Caribou in Newfoundland and Labrador
Project

Organization:
Project Description: The primary scope of this project will be an assessment of historical, current, and predicted caribou ranges and space use in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This will...
Addressing Cumulative Effects of Natural Resource Development in Canada’s Forests
Resource
This Research Agenda identifies research gaps and sets priorities for NRCan-CFS research over the next 5-10 years that will help Canada manage cumulative effects to support forest ecosystem resilience...
Animal-Defined Resources Reveal Nutritional Inadequacies for Woodland Caribou During Summer–Autumn
Resource
We quantified rates of intake of digestible protein and digestible energy by tame caribou foraging in temporary enclosures in the predominant plant communities of northeastern British Columbia, Canada, during summer–autumn and compared intake rates to daily requirements for protein and energy during lactation. Our results,coupled with recent measurements of body fat of wild caribou innortheastern British Columbia, refute the hypothesis that thenutritional environment available to caribou during summer innortheastern British Columbia is adequate to fully support nutri-tional demands of lactating caribou, which has implications toproductivity of caribou populations, recovery, and conservation.
Assessing Risk of Mercury Exposure and Nutritional Benefits of Consumption of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Community of Old Crow, Yukon, Canada
Resource
The contamination of traditional foods with chemical pollutants is a challenge to the food security of Aboriginal Peoples. This resource and others can be found on the Northern Caribou Canada website...
Assessing the Long-term Economic Interactions between Industrial Forestry Activities, Non-renewable Resource Extraction and Caribou Recovery
Resource
There is an existing gap in knowledge on the economic impacts of caribou recovery measures on forestry activities and non-renewable resource extraction. To address this knowledge gap, this project...
Balancing Large-scale Wildlife Protection and Forest Management Goals with a Game-theoretic Approach
Resource
When adopted, wildlife protection policies in Canadian forests typically cover large areas and affect multiple economic agents working in these landscapes. Such measures are likely to increase the...
Biting Flies and Activity of Caribou in the Boreal Forest
Resource
Habitat loss has been implicated in the decline of forest-dwelling caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), but it is unknown how biting insects, potentially important components of boreal forest habitat...
Boreal Caribou Can Coexist with Natural but Not Industrial Disturbances
Resource
Abstract: For species at risk, it is important that demographic models be consistent with our most recent knowledge because alternate model versions can have differing predictions for wildlife and...
Caribou, Fire, and Forestry - Literature Review
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...
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...
