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...
Continental Synchrony and Local Responses: Climatic Effects on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Calving in a Social Ungulate
Resource
Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked to observed population...
Critical Summer Foraging Tradeoffs in a Subarctic Ungulate
Resource
Summer diets are crucial for large herbivores in the subarctic and are affected by weather, harassment from insects and a variety of environmental changes linked to climate. Yet, understanding...

Guiding Principles for Wetland Stewardship and Forest Management Practitioner Guide
Resource
This practitioner guide provides a user-friendly overview of the interactions between boreal wetlands and forests and what these interactions mean for forest managers working in Canada’s boreal.
Guiding Principles for Wetland Stewardship and Forest Management Technical Report
Resource
This technical report describes in detail the interactions between boreal wetlands and forests and how forest managers can use this information to help avoid or minimize adverse effects on wetlands.
Increasing Fire Frequency and Severity Will Increase Habitat Loss for a Boreal Forest Indicator Species
Resource
Climate change will lead to more frequent and more severe fires in some areas of boreal forests, affecting the distribution and availability of late-successional forest communities. These forest...
Living in a Burned Landscape: Woodland Caribou Use of Postfire Residual Patches for Calving in a High Fire - Low Anthropogenic Boreal Shield Ecozone
Resource
We tested [the potential habitat value of postfire residuals] using 2 years of GPS data obtained from 56 female caribou to identify calving site selection. 79 calving events were identified from...

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...

Recovery of Terrestrial Lichens Following Wildfire in the Boreal Shield of Saskatchewan: Early Seral Forage Availability for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
In boreal forests, wildfire is a dominant ecological process that affects the distribution and abundance of terrestrial lichens, the principal winter food for Woodland Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus...
Seasonal Patterns of Spatial Fidelity and Temporal Consistency in the Distribution and Movements of a Migratory Ungulate
Resource
How animals use their range can have physiological, ecological, and demographic repercussions, as well as impact management decisions, species conservation, and human society. Fidelity, the...
Tactical Departures and Strategic Arrivals: Divergent Effects of Climate and Weather on Caribou Spring Migrations
Resource
A 2019 academic paper that looks at factors affecting caribou migration timing and speed. The paper concludes that later arrival at calving grounds might indicate that females are in worse condition...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
