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

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...
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...
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...
Contributions and Perspectives of Indigenous Peoples to the Study of Mercury in the Arctic
Resource
Arctic Indigenous Peoples are among the most exposed humans when it comes to foodborne mercury (Hg). In response, Hg monitoring and research have been on-going in the circumpolar Arctic since about...
Divergent Estimates of Herd‐wide Caribou Calf Survival: Ecological Factors and Methodological Biases
Resource
Abstract Population monitoring is a critical part of effective wildlife management, but methods are prone to biases that can hinder our ability to accurately track changes in populations through time...
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 Mine Development on Woodland Caribou Rangifer tarandus Distribution
Resource
Knowledge of the effect of mining developments on caribou Rangifer tarandus is fragmentary. We examined the impact of the Hope Brook gold mine, southwestern Newfoundland, on the La Poile woodland...
Evidence of Migratory Coupling Between Grey Wolves and Migratory Caribou
Resource
Abstract Large-scale animal migrations influence population and community dynamics along with ecosystem functioning. The migratory coupling concept posits that movement of migrant prey can lead to...
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...
Indigenous Participation in Peer Review Publications and the Editorial Process: Reflections From a Workshop
Resource
Abstract This communication paper reflects on discussions from a workshop about Indigenous involvement in the peer review and editorial processes. Arctic-based research is undergoing a paradigm shift...
Measurements of Cesium in Arctic Beluga and Caribou Before and After the Fukushima Accident of 2011
Resource
Concern from northern communities following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident of March 2011 has prompted a reassessment of the safety of their traditional foods with respect to radioactivity...
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...
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
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.
