Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) and Inuit Nutrition Security in Canada
The objective of this study was to examine food and nutrition security in relation to wildlife population and management status across Inuit Nunangat (the Inuit homeland, consisting of four regions across the Canadian Arctic). Specifically, it: (1) describes the importance of caribou to the nutrition security of contemporary Inuit, by relating caribou consumption to nutrient intakes and (2) examines the management status of northern caribou herds by compiling population status trends and identifying restrictions to caribou harvest (i.e., harvest quotas or moratoria).
Contrasts in Use and Perceptions of Biological Data for Caribou Management
This project compared the attitudes and perceptions toward caribou (Rangifer tarandus) management practices held by users and managers of the Western Arctic Herd (WAH) in Alaska and the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq herds (BQH) in Canada.
Mass Emigration of Arctic Tundra Caribou from a Traditional Winter Range: Population Dynamics and Physical Condition
The objective of this project was to test the Inuit prediction of mass caribou emigration from the winter range of a caribou subpopulation on Foxe Peninsula (FP), southern Baffin Island, Canada due to forage depletion.
Inuit Knowledge of Long-term Changes in a Population of Arctic Tundra Caribou
This project collected Inuit observations of historical changes in a caribou population on southern Baffin Island to describe population trends over several decades.
Collection and Analysis of Traditional Ecological Knowledge About a Population of Arctic Tundra Caribou
This project developed a method for collecting Inuit knowledge about historical changes in a caribou (Rangifer tarandus) population on southern Baffin Island from c. 1900 to 1994.
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Describing Biological Diversity
This PhD project use multiple disciplinary traditions to develop comprehensive and united representations of caribou variation through an exploration of population genetics, phylogenetics, traditional knowledge, language, and visual approaches in the Sahtú region of the Northwest Territories, Canada.
Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit about Population Changes and Ecology of Peary Caribou and Muskoxen on the High Arctic Islands of Nunavut
This master's project collected and documented Inuit observations to describe the population distribution of caribou and muskoxen in Nunavut.
Birth Date Determines Early Calf Survival in Migratory Caribou
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
This PhD project used Inuit knowledge and aerial survey data across many years to analyse distribution, forage selection, foraging ecology, and physical condition of caribou in the arctic.
