Sociogenetics: Exploring fine-scale social structure of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)

, 2014
The sociogenetic structure of woodland caribou was explored using non-invasive fecal sampling. Fecal pellet sampling occurred in South Jasper during the fall of (2006 to 2012) and in North Interlake during the winter (2004 to 2010).

Climate Warming Promotes Carbon Sequestration and Weathering in Tundra Landscapes and Alters Carbon Chemistry of Subarctic Lakes in Scandinavia

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Climate‐induced vegetation greening (NDVImax) stimulated C‐sequestration in subarctic catchments by 10%–85% during the last decades. Increases in weathering and declines in non‐marine SO4 atmospheric deposits were identified as the main drivers of decadal increases in inorganic C (ICalk) run‐off to subarctic lakes.

The art of avoidance: bedsite use, antipredator strategies, and predation risk in white‐tailed deer fawns

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
Horizontal visibility, rather than concealment cover, drove fawn bedsite use and predation risk. Greater field of view decreased the odds of coyote predation, likely by facilitated by early detection. As fawns transitioned from hiders to followers, they shifted from using dense overstory concealment to more open overstory that favored improved escape ...

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 2902-2924, September 2026.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Balancing forage and fear: How people, environment and predators shape reindeer grazing in the Fennoscandian tundra

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3182-3200, September 2026.
Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.

Temporal community change in stream ecosystems varies by assemblage across US climates

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2737-2750, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem properties are temporally dynamic. Temporal variability has been shown to decrease with increasing levels of biological organization (i.e. from population to community and ecosystem levels).

Climate change mitigation through woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) habitat restoration in British Columbia

Environmental Research: Ecology
Climate change poses a significant global threat, requiring rapid and effective mitigation strategies to limit future warming. Tree planting is a commonly proposed and readily implementable natural climate solution.

Habitat Selection and Intrapopulation Spatial Segregation in an Arctic Top Predator at the Southern Limit of Its Range

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Located at the southern extent of the species' range, polar bears in James Bay exhibited intrapopulation variation in space use, resulting in two spatial clusters during the on‐ice season. Some bears remained within southern James Bay, whereas others ranged more broadly north of the bay.

Elevation shapes alpine snow algal blooms and their influence on albedo reduction

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2482-2496, September 2026.
Graphical summary of elevational trends in Sanguina‐dominated snow algal blooms. Increasing elevation was associated with larger cells, lower Chla content per cell, higher astaxanthin ratios, lower snow water content, and reduced cell‐normalized albedo, whereas algal cell density showed no consistent elevational trend.

Bioclimatic, terrain, and specific peatland composition are major drivers of woodland caribou winter habitat suitability in northern Ontario [PDF]

Mapping of winter habitat suitability is important for the persistence and conservation of at-risk woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)).
