Summary:
The goals of this project are to investigate ways of introducing man-made items into muskox habitat with minimal disturbance; test if wild muskox will physically interact with a man made addition to their habitat; test the efficacy of muskombs to collect qiviuq; present this scheme to Inuvialuit groups for the purpose of developing a qiviuq industry.
Maskombs were built at the ARI, shipped to S...

Summary:
The objectives of the research are to: investigate ways of introducing man-made items into musk ox habitat with minimal disturbance; observe if wild musk oxen will physically interact with a man-made addition to their habitat; test the efficacy of the “muskombs” (scratching posts for musk oxen); and collect qiviuq (musk ox down wool). The results of this research will be presented to Inuvialuit gr...

1990 Summary:
The Researcher and team will continue to study the relationship between muskoxen and the plants they eat. Since 1987 the effect of muskox grazing on arctic vetch plants has been studied. Investigations of a large number of vetch plants will include calculations on mortality rates, growth rates and renewal through seed....
