open access: yes, 1994
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) historically occupied the boreal forest zone across the North American continent. The distribution and abundance of the species has declined in the past century. In particular, it has been extirpated from much

Vulnerable knowledge: responding to the uncertainties of climate change‐related disaster

open access: yesDisasters, Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract This paper uses uncertainty generated by environmental change and climate crisis as a prompt to rethink the concept of vulnerability within disaster studies. Where some have sought to recover a latent political potential in vulnerability, a togetherness founded in the disclosure of insecurities to others, we argue that there is value in ...

Waterfowl Move Less in Heterogeneous and Human‐Populated Landscapes, With Implications for Spread of Avian Influenza Viruses

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
We show that non‐migratory waterfowl movement distances are shorter in areas of high land cover heterogeneity and human population density, and that these movement distances are related to the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. These results suggest that habitat management could contribute to the spread of these viruses.

The Importance of Effective Population Size in Conservation and Biodiversity Monitoring

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective population size (Ne) is a key concept in biology and conservation. Stripped to its bare essentials, it reflects how much genetic drift a population experiences, expressed as a number of individuals of an ideal theoretical population. Superficially, Ne seems like a fairly simple concept, but the more layers of the onion you peel, the ...

Species Loss Scenarios Identify Canada's Northern Ecosystems as Disproportionately Vulnerable

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Amid ongoing and accelerating global change, predicting the ecological consequences of future species loss is important for prioritising conservation actions to protect biodiversity. Species richness has long been thought to protect communities from species loss by providing ecological redundancy, whereby the loss of any one species hardly
