Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Depsides and depsidones are polyketide‐derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and evolutionary relationships of polyketide BGCs in lichens.

Evaluating the influence of anthropogenic landscape change on wolf distribution: implications for woodland caribou

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Across much of the range of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), predator–prey dynamics have changed as a result of large‐scale industrial development.

Comparison of seasonal habitat selection between threatened woodland caribou ecotypes in central British Columbia

open access: yesRangifer, 2007
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in British Columbia have been classified into ecotypes based on differences in use of habitat in winter. Although recovery planning focuses on ecotypes, habitat use and selection varies within ecotypes.

Genetic relationships between Woodland and Barren ground caribou

open access: yesRangifer, 1996
Abstract: The genetic relationships between woodland and barren ground caribou herds are being investigated using both mitochondrial and nuclear D N A . D N A sequence variation i n the most variable region (the D l o o p region) o f mitochondrial D N A indicate the woodland caribou from Newfoundland, Ontario, Alberta, and Brit ish Co lumbia are ...

Nutrient addition and herbivore exclusion alter plant traits and biomass via distinct mechanisms: intraspecific variability vs species turnover

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Soil nutrients and vertebrate herbivory are key ecological factors with opposite and interactive effects on grassland plant traits and biomass. Partitioning trait changes into species turnover and intraspecific change provides a mechanistic linkage between trait shifts and biomass responses.

Movement pathways and habitat selection by woodland caribou during spring migration

open access: yesRangifer, 2005
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are a threatened species throughout Canada. Special management is therefore required to ensure habitat needs are met, particularly because much of their current distribution is heavily influenced by resource ...

Forest fires, woodland caribou and land use policies in northwestern Ontario (Rangifer tarandus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are a threatened species in Ontario\u27s boreal forest. Caribou require habitat that supports appropriate forage, including large areas of lichen rich forests.

Ecosystem restoration and Indigenous Peoples and local communities: Learning from protected and conserved areas

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Global interest in, and funding for, ecosystem restoration is growing in the face of ongoing ecosystem degradation. The role and inclusion of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LCs) have not been given sufficient attention in ecosystem restoration. Objective The objective of this research is to apply the lessons from the
