10,000 Drowned: Commemorating the Caribou
This exhibition commemorates a caribou herd that drown during their fall migration in 1984. The disaster occurred when Hydro-Quebec opened the Caniapiscau reservoir spill gates two hundred and seventy miles upstream from Limestone Falls on the Caniapiscau River. This caused the river level to rise …

Behavioural Ecology in Conservation Planning: Individual and Sex-Specific Insights from Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Western Canada
… variation can inform conservation of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), a threatened species with complex population structure and widespread declines across western Canada. Leveraging a long-term (2000 – 2025) broad-scale GPS telemetry dataset from over 1000 individuals across …

Resource selection, predation risk, and population dynamics of woodland caribou
<p>Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) have experienced population declines and local extirpations across North America. Human disturbance has caused caribou declines indirectly through changes to apparent competition dynamics within the predator-prey community. Apparent competition occurs …

Ecological genomics and conservation of caribou in Western North America
… example, migratory or sedentary behaviour in caribou. The use of genomics is fundamental to evaluate such evolutionary processes and, in conjunction with ecological information, has also been advocated for to inform conservation planning for endangered caribou. I examined Single Nucleotide …

Dendroarchaeology in the Mackenzie Mountains: The Moose Horn Pass Caribou Fence (KjRx-1)
The Moose Horn Pass Caribou Fence site is a collection of three wooden fences located in the Tulita District of the Sahtu Settlement Area, of the Northwest Territories. Situated in traditional Shúhtagoťine (Mountain Dene) territory, it is believed to have been used to assist past hunters in …

WOODLAND CARIBOU AS ECOLOGICAL DRIVERS OF FIR WITCHES' BROOM INFECTIONS ON THE SLATE ISLANDS
<p>Woodland caribou herbivory on The Slate Islands altered the forest landscape and ground flora resulting in the emergence of the rust fungi, <em>Melampsorella caryophyllacearum</em>. This rust alternates between chickweeds and balsam fir, where it causes a broom deformity. My study identified …

Differential habitat selection of black bears, gray wolves, and boreal caribou in the Boreal Shield of Saskatchewan
Boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are listed as Threatened on Schedule 1 of the Canada Species at Risk Act, and critical habitat for this species is currently being defined across the country. Declines in populations have been driven largely by anthropogenic disturbance, and in …

General biology of woodland caribou based on collection of local and traditional knowledge in north-central Saskatchewan
Woodland caribou are listed as a threatened species in Saskatchewan. The need for contemporary data is paramount for conservation of this species. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of threats to woodland caribou: forestry and logging, road development and expansion, mineral …

Resource selection and abundance estimation of moose: Implications for caribou recovery in a human altered landscape
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are threatened across Canada due to human disturbance altering predator-prey dynamics. The niche specialization of caribou enables them to survive in nutrient-poor habitats spatially separated from other ungulates and their shared predators. The …

Assessing cumulative human impacts on northern woodland caribou with traditional ecological knowledge and resource selection functions
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are federally listed and declining across Canada because of the cumulative impacts of human infrastructure development. The Atlin northern mountain herd, in the territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation (TRTFN), British Columbia, is less affected …

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL TRENDS IN RANGE-USE BY THE BATHURST CARIBOU DURING A POPULATION DECLINE, 1997-2019
The Bathurst barren-ground caribou herd of Northwest Territories and Nunavut declined by 98% between 1986 and 2019; from an estimated population of 470,000 animals to just 8,200. Although caribou herds are known to fluctuate greatly between high and low populations, the recent population low has …

Integrating the effects of climate change and caribou herbivory on vegetation community structure in low Arctic tundra
… I integrate the impacts of climate warming and caribou browsing on tundra vegetation community structure, and specifically investigate if increases in soil fertility with warming might lead to changes in vegetation biomass and chemistry that could fundamentally alter herbivore-nutrient cycling …

The Devil's in the Diversity: Divergent Parasite Faunas and their Impacts on Body Condition in Two Greenland Caribou Populations
… fecundity in two populations of west Greenland caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus). Parasite diversity was described using fecal flotations and examinations of abomasa and small intestines. Anoplocephalidae, Nematodirinae and “Strongyle”-type eggs and Eimeria oocysts were found in fecal …
