Mosquito Baseline Study for the City of Yellowknife
Principal Investigator: Ellis, R.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The mosquito baseline study is aimed at determining which mosquito species breed in and around Yellowknife. While sampling for mosquito larvae, samples of non-target (i.e., other) insect species will also be taken to determine which of these species are natural predators or parasites of mosquitoes, or should be protected for other reasons. The City of Yellowknife will be provided with recommenda...


International conservation strategy for the endangered bowhead whale of Baffin Bay.
Principal Investigator: Finley, Kerry J.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: Since 1983, Word Wildlife Fund has supported research on the bowhead of Isabella Bay. This research, representing the first ever conducted on this species, has identified Isabella Bay to be one of the most important habitats for bowhead in the eastern arctic. The whales use the area to feed, socialize and shelter them from killer whales. The researcher will continue his study of bowhead behavi...


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....


Biology of ringed seals and the impact of ice-breaking traffic on ringed seal biology and behaviour
Principal Investigator: Innes, Stuart
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: This project is a continuation of the NOGAP B.1 Marine Mammal Vessel Interaction Project. It studies the effects of ship traffic on the behaviour of ringed seals during the fast-ice period and the habitat selection of ringed seals. Seals will be located and live- trapped in order that they can be tagged and monitored. Changes in seal behaviour and distribution will be examined before, during an...


Reproductive Potential and Energetic Composition of Babbage and Big Fish River Female Dolly Varden Char, Yukon North Slope
Principal Investigator: Sandstrom, Stephen J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: This project addresses questions pertaining to the energy composition and habitat utilization of female sea-run Dolly Varden char (Salvelinus malma) of the Yukon Slope. The direct consequences of energy partitioning to fucundity (spawning success) and stored energy reserves (overwintering success) have significant effects on population abundance....


An Evaluation of RADAR, SPOT and Landsat TM Data to Classify Wildlife Habitat in the Kiggavik Mine Area near Baker Lake, NWT
Principal Investigator: Matthews, Steven
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The project will evaluate airborne RADAR data as well as Landsat TM and SPOT satellite data to distinguish vegetation cover types of the tundra near Baker Lake. Detailed vegetation surveys will be carried out in the field. The data will be used to classify vegetation cover types and in accuracy assessment. Wildlife habitat types will be based on the resultant classification and produced as mapped ...


Assessment of Reindeer Range on the Belcher Islands
Principal Investigator: Henry, Gregory
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: In association with the Hunters and Trappers Association in Sanikiluaq, the Researchers will assess the extent and productivity of the range on the Belchers to estimate how many reindeer can be supported before they begin to damage the habitat....


The Biology of Predaceous Insects in the Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: DeBruyn, Adrian
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will investigate the biology of predaceous insects in terrestrial and freshwater habitats. An inventory of predaceous insects will be conducted through trapping and collecting. Their prey and habits will also be identified....


Shorebird and Waterfowl Nesting Habitat in the Mackenzie Delta, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Roney, Keith
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1991
Summary: The Researcher will gather information by aerial reconnaissance to take photographs of nesting areas; a ground study by boat to photograph and take notes on the habitat of nesting birds; a library search for information on the Mackenzie Delta and will conduct interviews with local researchers and residents for additional information....


Energy Composition of and Summer Habitat Utilization by Babbage River Dolly Varden
Principal Investigator: Sandstrom, Steve
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will continue to study the energy composition of and summer habitat utilization by Babbage River Dolly Varden. Fish will be collected by a number of methods, measured, tagged and released. A sub-sample will be dead sampled for sex, maturity and ageing structures as well as a number of dead samples will be frozen on site and transported to Winnipeg for analysis....
