For millennia Indigenous communities have relied on the far north's caribou herds for sustenance. But as the herds dwindle, the future becomes difficult to predict.
Muskoxen may be found as solitary males or small bachelor groups, or in larger mixed groups ranging in size from 3 to 50 (Gunn and Adamczewski, 1998; Lent, 1999). They are relatively sedentary with limited to no seasonal migration, although sporadic dispersal such as that between the Canadian...
Kitikmeot region, Canada Caribou: Caribou are changing migration routes due to early cracks in the sea ice. Changes in vegetation types and abundance are affecting caribou foraging strategies. Massive caribou drownings have been increasing due to thinner sea ice. For instance, a massive drowning eve...
Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Caribou Winter Ranges Map 2013-2022 Maps from the Caribou Management Plan 2013-2022 Below are detailed maps included in the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Caribou Management Plan. Full descriptive titles are provided for each map in the Detailed Management Plan (102 pp., 5.8...
(Canada) has experienced a large decline in population size since the population peaked in the early 1990s, with similarly large changes in seasonal range use. Demographic changes are suspected to have influenced forage abundance and caribou range use through density-dependent interactions between ...
The resulting predicted movement map resembled an observation of the sum of three independent diffusion models54 centered at the subpopulation range centroids. We used the predictive movement maps to quantify the impacts of the climate change and conservation scenarios on the simulated caribou movement ...
4.4.2 Migration and seasonal ranges The range of the PCH herd was marked on the map by Robert Alexie Sr., Woody Elias (WE13) and Percy Henry. All three communities that these Elders live in are located south of the calving grounds of the North Slope. Some of the interviewees had a ...
andersoni in DU caribou demonstrates that this parasite is also transported to Victoria Island, likely regularly and repeatedly with the annual migration of the DU caribou from the mainland. Whether it establishes a transmission cycle on the island, similar to the recently established U. pallikuu...
Accordingly, we also examined the consequences of the cumulative impacts of timber harvesting across the two provinces in Eastern Canada on the suitable habitat of the boreal caribou in local population ranges within this large region of the boreal biome. 2. Materials and Methods Our study area, ...
