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...
An Update on Inuit Perceptions of Their Changing Environment, Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin Island, Nunavut)
Resource
Objective of this study was to shed light on how the impacts of climate change are currently perceived in the communities of Kanngiqtugaapik, Pangniqtuuq, and Qikiqtarjuaq
Assessing the Influence of Resource Covariates at Multiple Spatial Scales: An Application to Forest Dwelling Caribou Faced with Intensive Human Activity

Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...
Body-Condition Dynamics of a Northern Ungulate Gaining Body Condition in Winter
Resource
Individual condition generally depends on density and is partly determined by habitat quality and climate. We studied long-term trends in the condition and productivity of female caribou (Rangifer...
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...
Calving Rate, Calf Survival Rate, and Habitat Selection of Forest-Dwelling Caribou in a Highly Managed Landscape
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...
Caribou and Reindeer Migrations in the Changing Arctic
Resource
Caribou and reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, are the most numerous and socio-ecologically important terrestrial species in the Arctic. Their migrations are directly and indirectly affected by the seasonal...
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) and Inuit Nutrition Security in Canada
Resource
A 2018 academic paper examining the relationship between Inuit nutrition and caribou. It found that “Caribou was the top dietary source of protein in Nunavut (up to 35% of total intake) and the ISR...
Caribou Response to Wildfires
Resource
This artistic creation has emerged from a collaboration between a PhD candidate, Geneviève Degré-Timmons and an artist, Emmanuelle Gendron, where they explored the synergies between natural science...
Centering Indigenous Voices: The Role of Fire in the Boreal Forest of North America
Resource
Indigenous perspectives have often been overlooked in fire management in North America. With a focus on the boreal region of North America, this paper provides a review of the existing literature...
Climate, Caribou and Human Needs Linked by Analysis of Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge
Resource
Migratory tundra caribou are ecologically and culturally critical in the circumpolar North. However, they are declining almost everywhere in North America, probably due to natural variation...
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...
CNVs with Adaptive Potential in Rangifer tarandus: Genome Architecture and New Annotated Assembly
Resource
Rangifer tarandus has experienced recent drastic population size reductions throughout its circumpolar distribution and preserving the species implies genetic diversity conservation. To facilitate...
