Canadian Global Change Transect: Northern Transect
Principal Investigator: Kerr, Jeremy T
Licensed Year(s): 2012
Summary: The Canadian Global Change Transect (CGCT) is a project of the Canadian Facility for Ecoinformatics Research at the University of Ottawa. The goal of the project is to assess and predict the effects of historical and future global changes on the spatial distribution of Canadian butterfly species through time. One of the key aspects of the CGCT to develop historical range calibrated models is the c...

Grizzly Bears on the Yukon North Slope - Traditional and local knowledge component
Principal Investigator: Maraj, Ramona
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: In May 2004, the Yukon Government, Department of Environment, in partnership with Parks Canada and the Aklavik Hunters and Trappers Committee, initiated a six-year grizzly bear research project on the Yukon North Slope. This traditional/local knowledge...

Genetic Diversity in the Biota of Arctic Lakes
Principal Investigator: Hebert, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Our research will involve the survey of zooplankton communities in lakes and ponds of the Mackenzie Delta area (Inuvialuit private lands). Samples will be collected by either wading in ponds or by towing at net behind a float equipped helicopter. Samples will be frozen in liquid nitrogen, and subsequently examined for genetic variation. Our work aims to establish the species diversity of zoopla...

Biology, ecology and cold tolerance of arctic insects
Principal Investigator: Ring, Richard A.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1990 1987
Summary: As part of a long term study, I will continue to examine the biology of arctic and subarctic insects. Information will be collected on insect distributions as well as insect adaptations to living in environments with extremely cold winters and short summers. Studies on insect communities in the north may be good indicators of global climate change since they are short-lived species with limited a...

Distribution, systematics and genetic structure of western arctic zooplankton species
Principal Investigator: Hebert, Paul D.N.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Zooplankton will be collected from lakes and ponds located along a transect between Paulatuk and Shingle Point (Yukon). The specimens that are collected will be identified according to species type and genetic analyses will be performed to determine what species are interbreeding to produce hybrid organisms. Knowledge about zooplankton is important as many organisms (such as fish) depend on thes...

Genetics and postglacial dispersal of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and arctic charr (S. alpinus) in the western arctic
Principal Investigator: Wilson, Chris C.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will be collecting lake trout and/or arctic charr from lakes in the vicinities of Hay River, Inuvik, Paulatuk and Tuktoyaktuk in order to examine the distributions of these species. Samples of liver and muscle tissue will be collected from these fish for genetic analyses: this research will provide information about how different populations are related to each other (i.e., their o...

Yukon North Slope charr tagging project
Principal Investigator: Stabler, Matt
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Dolly varden charr that use the Babbage, Firth, Big Fish and Rat Rivers spend the summer months in the estuary off of the Yukon North Slope. It is not yet known to what extent charr from each of these rivers mix while they are together during the summer. The researchers will be at King Point during the course of other duties and will catch and radio tag ten charr in order to monitor the fish's m...

Nesting-bird habitat relationships on the Yukon Coastal Plain: A program to establish initial relationships and populations (April 1992 to March 1994)
Principal Investigator: Hawkings, James S.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The populations of nesting birds will be determined in a selected number of plots that represent the various tundra habitats on the Yukon Coastal Plain. The selected plots will be surveyed on foot during the spring (June) to identify the most important habitats for bird species nesting on the coastal plain. This project has been approved by the North Slope Wildlife Management Advisory Committee....

Distribution, abundance, productivity, survival and habitat of white-fronted geese, Canada geese, Pacific brant and tundra swans in the Inuvialuit Region.
Principal Investigator: Hines, Jim
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Data on the distribution, abundance, survival/mortality, and productivity are essential for the sound management of wildlife populations but there is a critical lack of such information for white-fronted geese, Canada geese, Pacific brant and tundra swan populations from the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Helicopter surveys, ground counts and banding/neck collaring will help to determine distribut...

Vegetation Response to Global Warming in the Mackenzie River Basin: Interations Between Northern Boreal Forests, Wetlands and Regional Hydrology
Principal Investigator: Nicholson, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...
