Études/Inuit/Studies, 2010
This paper explores the nature and transfer of Inuit knowledge. Using our experiences in setting up workshops with elders and youths in the past 10 years, we argue that the notion thatInuit qaujimajatuqangitcan be viewed as a corpus of knowledge that can be integrated into academic programs is necessarily flawed.

Geographic isolation reduces genetic diversity of a wide‐ranging terrestrial vertebrate, Canis lupus

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Genetic diversity is theorized to decrease in populations closer to a species' range edge, where habitat may be suboptimal. Generalist species capable of long‐range dispersal may maintain sufficient gene flow to counteract this, though the presence of significant barriers to dispersal (e.g., large water bodies, human‐dominated landscapes) may ...
