We concluded that recent anthropogenic fragmentation of caribou range in western Canada has yet to affect genetic diversity of populations. Analysis of population structure identified a region of relatively low gene flow corresponding with the valley of the Peace River. The highest value of F ST ...
Here, we explore compensatory conservation measures for climate change impacts on a threatened population of a widely ranging large mammal species: the boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in Gaspésie, Québec, Canada. Incorporating climate change into conservation studies is emerging as...
Canadapopulation dynamicsfoodsnowdensityThis paper is a review of the ecology of two caribou populations inhabiting predator-free northern islands, Coats and Southampton Island. Findings are analyzed in light of the hypothesis that in absence of preacute;dation or high human harvest, food competition ...
The southern clade supposedly evolved south of the continental ice sheet, whereas the northern clade was in a glacial refugium in Alaska and adjacent Arctic Canada. Populations that contained unique southern gene types were the Pukaskwa local population in Ontario and two in Newfoundlan...
The article looks into the population of caribou in Canada. The author discusses the declining number of caribou in the nation. He talks about a survey depicting the decline in caribou population and the lone species of caribou, which is Rangifer tarandus. Also tackled is a study depicting the...
The boreal population of caribou was already assessed as threatened when the Endangered Species Act took effect in 2008. (Stock photo of Boreal woodland caribou courtesy Getty Images/mirceax). MECP also shared that under C...
In northeastern Alberta, Canada, continued expansion of the oil and gas industry along with timber harvesting has raised concerns that the resulting environmental changes may negatively affect the woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in this region. Caribou are a threatened species in...

population modelRangifer tarandusWoodland caribou is a Threatened or Endangered subspecies across much of Canada. In many cases, these caribou are declining because of human﹎ediated predation in the form of apparent competition. Provincial and federal agencies have employed a number of conservation ...
Scientific assessment to inform the identification of critical habitat for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), boreal population in Canada : Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population (herein referred to as boreal caribou), are formally listed as Threatened under the federal...
