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 Literature Review for Monitoring Rare and Elusive Species, and Recommendations on Survey Design for Monitoring Boreal Caribou
Resource
Effective wildlife management requires monitoring changes in the spatial distribution of species, their population size and their population trend (Williams et al. 2002; Sinclair et al. 2006)...
A Retrospective Summary of Cervid Morbidity and Mortality in Ontario and Nunavut Regions of Canada
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...
A Review of Reindeer Lichen (Cladonia subgenus Cladina) Linear Growth Rates
Resource
Cladonia subgenus Cladina (the reindeer lichens) can be a dominant part of terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. They are particularly abundant in arctic-alpine and boreal regions, where they are a...
An Exploration of Conservation Breeding and Translocation Tools to Improve the Conservation Status of Boreal Caribou Populations in Western Canada
Resource
Abstract: In the face of declining population trends in western Canada, there is an urgent need to consider interventionist approaches to assist caribou population recovery until landscapes are...
Braiding Indigenous Rights and Endangered Species Law
Resource
Endangered species laws effectively prevent species extinction but fall short in restoring abundance for culturally important species. Legal agreements between Indigenous peoples and countries...
Braiding Indigenous Rights and Endangered Species Law for Meaningful Species Recovery - Infographic
Resource
A new Science paper co-produced by Indigenous and Western authors highlights how Indigenous rights can pick up where endangered species laws fall short in recovering species to culturally-meaningful...

Organization
The University of Guelph is pleased to present Caribou Conservation and One Health in Canada as part of the One Health Seminar Series. The talk will be given by Dr. Quinn Webber, a behavioural...
“Caribou was the reason, and everything else happened after”: Effects of Caribou Declines on Inuit in Labrador, Canada
Resource
Examines the critical interplay between cultural continuity and adaptive capacity for responding to ecological uncertainty based on an Inuit-led, multi-year, multi-media qualitative and visual media

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...
Effects of Disturbance on Understory Succession in Upland and Lowland Boreal Forests and Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
Boreal forest development is influenced by both natural and anthropogenic disturbances that alter stand structure and nutrient cycling over decadal timescales. The effects of disturbance on boreal...
Estimates of Breeding Females & Adult Herd Size and Analyses of Demographics for the Bluenose-East Herd of Barren-Ground Caribou: 2018 Calving Ground Photographic Survey
Resource
This report describes the results of a calving ground photo survey of the Bluenose-East caribou herd conducted in June of 2018 west of Kugluktuk, Nunavut (NU). The survey objective was to estimate...
Estimates of Caribou Herd Size Using Post-Calving Surveys in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada: A Meta-Analysis
Resource
We analyzed 20 data sets from post-calving surveys in the NWT and NU carried out between 2000 and 2015 using the Rivest estimator. We provide a set of working recommendations to optimize field sampling to ensure reliable estimates of herd size using post-calving methods.
Estimation of Trends in Zone of Influence of Mine Sites on Barren-ground Caribou Populations in the Northwest Territories, Canada, Using New Methods
Resource
The zone of influence (ZOI) is the area in the vicinity of industrial development where avoidance by caribou Rangifer tarandus or other wildlife species is observed. Here we examine ZOI around two...
Evaluating the Use of Hair as a Non-invasive Indicator of Trace Mineral Status in Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
Trace mineral imbalances can have significant effects on animal health, reproductive success, and survival. Monitoring their status in wildlife populations is, therefore, important for management and...
