Hi All,
I would like to invite you to join the Facebook group for the Rangifer
Anatomy Project which will include information, updates, and photos on
our research on caribou and reindeer and from the communities that we
are collaborating with. The project aims to develop an anatomical atlas
for caribou and reindeer and engage communities in the process and
include traditional knowledge of caribou anatomy and historical and
contemporary uses of caribou and reindeer.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=72786721343
Please pass on to anyone that might be interested, including teachers
and students. I understand that some schools have blocked Facebook so if
anyone has suggestions for a similar but accessible way to share
information please let me know!
Best,
Ryan.

Nouveau programme de recherche sur le caribou
Québec, 26 mars 2009. – Une équipe de chercheurs dirigée par le professeur Steeve Côté, de l’Université Laval, lance aujourd’hui un vaste programme de recherche qui vise à mieux comprendre la dynamique des populations de caribous migrateurs et leur utilisation de l'espace au Québec et au Labrador dans un contexte de changements climatiques. Le projet de recherche, qui s’étendra sur cinq ans, bénéficie d’un budget de 1,7 M$, grâce à la contribution de nombreux partenaires, dont le Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada (CRSNG).
Le caribou migrateur est au centre de l’écosystème des milieux nordiques, il est aussi au cœur de la culture et de l’économie de cette région. Les populations de caribous du Québec et du Labrador ont subi des variations importantes dans le passé. D’éventuels changements quant au nombre et à la distribution des caribous pourraient avoir des répercussions néfastes, entre autres, pour les peuples autochtones et les pourvoiries du nord du Québec et du Labrador. À titre d’exemple, la chasse sportive au caribou dans
Pour le recteur de l’Université Laval, Denis Brière, « ce projet de recherche se démarque, non seulement pas la diversité des intervenants et partenaires, mais aussi par la prise en compte des aspects social et économique dans une recherche, au départ, biologique. Voilà qui montre bien la qualité de la recherche à l’Université Laval. »
« Nous sommes fiers d’appuyer le travail de
