Hair Biomarkers to Support Barren-ground Caribou Health Monitoring and Management ...
Barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) are a keystone species of Canada, whose population health is a current and future management priority. Many of these historically numerous populations, including the Bluenose-East (BNE) and Dolphin and Union (DU) herds, have severely declined i...
