Integrating Traditonal and Scientific Knowledge in Large Mammal Research

OPP-9709971佛兰德斯这个项目测试了一种整合传统生态和科学知识的方法。它描述了西部北极驯鹿群传统生态和科学知识之间的异同；衡量了科学研究和土著知识的定性评估在预测驯鹿群种群参数方面的贡献；并评估了非生物因素，特别是那些非周期性或周期性因素对西部北极驯鹿群种群参数的重要性。

OPP-9709971 Flanders This project tests a method for integrating traditional ecological and scientific knowledge. It describes the similarities and differences between traditional ecological and scientific knowledge for the western arctic caribou herd; measures the contribution of qualitative assessments, from both scientific research and indigenous knowledge, in predicting the population parameters of the caribou herd; and evaluates the importance of abiotic factors, particularly those that are aperiodic or episoidic, for the population parameters of the western arctic caribou herd.
