Published purpose

This project will investigate the drivers of an expanding moose population at the edge of its range, examine how these drivers interact across mammal food webs, and compare wildlife activity patterns across latitudes with extreme light conditions. Using camera data and habitat information from northern monitoring programs in collaboration with the Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation, it will model species distributions, community composition, and behavioral patterns. This research aims to support community-informed research and guide land stewardship decisions in the context of rapid climate change.
