Monitoring of avian predator reproduction on Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada

Predators play a key role in the functioning of ecosystems and could potentially control the abundance of their prey. As predators are at the top of the food chain, they can be...

Monitoring of arctic and red fox reproduction on Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada

Foxes are strongly dependent on dens for parturition and rearing of cubs. Due to the shallow permafrost-free layer in most of the arctic fox’s range, new dens are rarely dug and...

Monitoring of Greater Snow Goose reproduction on Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada

Nest searches are carried out on foot from our main field station since 1989 and from a secondary field camp inside the main goose colony since 1992. Nests are found during...
