Attendance in person or via Zoom Celebrating the remarkable career of Anne Innis Dagg, who performed ground-breaking work on giraffe biology, behaviour and conservation despite the systemic barriers...
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...
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...
Comparing Landscape Partitioning Approaches to Protect Wildlife Habitat in Managed Forests
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...
Defining Parasite Biodiversity at High Latitudes of North America: New Host and Geographic Records for Onchocerca Cervipedis (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in Moose and Caribou
Resource
Onchocerca cervipedis is a filarioid nematode of cervids reported from Central America to boreal regions of North America. It is found primarily in subcutaneous tissues of the legs, and is more...
Delaying Conservation Actions Matters for Species Vulnerable to Climate Change
Resource
Abstract Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species or populations at risk from global climate change, but few translate impact assessments to climate change...
Functional Response to Cumulative Effects as an Effective Tool for Wildlife Management
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...
Historical Landscape Use of Migratory Caribou: New Insights From Old Antlers
Resource
Accumulations of shed caribou antlers ( Rangifer tarandus) are valuable resources for expanding the temporal scope with which we evaluate seasonal landscape use of herds. Female caribou shed their...
Monitoring Recovery of Overgrazed Lichen Communities on Hagemeister Island, Southwestern Alaska
Resource
Understanding the recovery rate of overgrazed lichen communities has value to mangers of lands in northern regions. We describe lichen community composition and present recovery rate measurements for...
Potential Impact of Restricted Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Consumption on Anemia Prevalence Among Inuit Adults in Northern Canada
Resource
Abstract Background Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) is the top dietary source of iron and several micronutrients necessary for red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in the contemporary diet of Inuit...
Predicting Patterns of Terrestrial Lichen Biomass Recovery Following Boreal Wildfires
Resource
New allometric equations to estimate lichen biomass from field measurements of lichen cover and height; allometries were consistent among ecoprovinces, suggesting generalizability
Rapid Transformation of Tundra Ecosystems From Ice-wedge Degradation
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...
Survival and Reproduction in Arctic Caribou are Associated with Summer Forage and Insect Harassment
Resource
Investigators have speculated that the climate-driven “greening of the Arctic” may benefit barren-ground caribou populations, but paradoxically many populations have declined in recent years. This...
The Influence of Postfire Recovery and Environmental Conditions on Boreal Vegetation
Resource
Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of fires in the boreal biome of North America. These changes can alter the recovery of both canopy and understory vegetation. There is uncertainty...
Webinar - Forecasting Climate-sensitive Landscape Change Reveals Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Climate-induced northern forest change may be severe, altering resources for boreal caribou. Mitigating the conservation challenges associated with caribou could be dampened through forecasts of...
Where Will Northern Boreal Caribou Live as the Climate Changes?
Resource
The information in this infographic is based on an academic paper, Climate-informed forecasts reveal dramatic local habitat shifts and population uncertainty for northern boreal caribou.
