A Causal Modelling Approach to Informing Woodland Caribou Conservation Policy from Observational Studies
Resource
Examines the scientific framework for woodland caribou recovery efforts through the lens of causal modelling, highlighting feasible steps that could be taken to improve the rigour of causal inferences
A Three-Pronged Approach that Leans on Indigenous Knowledge for Northern Fish Monitoring and Conservation
Resource
Investigating whether changes within fish populations may result from harvesting requires a comprehensive approach, especially in more data-sparse northern regions. Our study took a three-pronged...
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...
Effect of Forest Understorey Stand Density on Woodland Caribou Habitat Use
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are considered to preferentially use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators. However, structural...
Effect of Forest Understory Stand Density on Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Selection
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators. However, forest structural characteristics...
Influence of Operational Sex Ratio and Male Age on Mating Competition Intensity in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus)
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Nested Population Structure of Threatened Boreal Caribou Revealed by Network Analysis
Resource
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their...
Spatial Structure of Boreal Woodland Caribou Populations in Northwest Canada
Resource
Understanding spatial distributions of organisms and the consequences for conservation policy and management decisions remain important challenges. We describe a method for grouping caribou into plausible candidate Local Population Units that may better approximate geographic closure than the existing LPUs.
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Influence of Operational Sex Ratio on the Intensity of Competition in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) during Rut: An Experimental Approach
Resource
We examined how manipulating operational sex ratio (OSR: the ratio of reproductively active males to fertilizable females), could affect the intensity of competition in reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus)...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
Thresholds in the Capacity of Boreal Caribou to Cope with Cumulative Disturbances: Evidence From Space Use Patterns
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
