NWT Wildlife Sketches: Moose of the Northwest Territories (GNWT, 1992)
~1992Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
This 2nd edition NWT Wildlife Sketches guide provides a comprehensive overview of moose (Alces alces) in the Northwest Territories, including physical description, habitat requirements, distribution, behavior, reproduction, survival factors, and management practices. The document details moose ecology, their importance to northern communities, and management strategies including harvest controls and habitat enhancement initiatives.

NWT Wildlife Sketches: Birds of Prey of the NWT, 3rd Edition (GNWT, 1991)
~1991Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
An educational pamphlet describing 13 species of diurnal birds of prey found in the Northwest Territories, including their identification, distribution, natural history, breeding behavior, and population trends. The document discusses pesticide impacts, protection legislation, and NWT research programs monitoring raptor populations.

Muskox of the Northwest Territories (NWT Wildlife Sketches) (GNWT, 1991)
~1991Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
An educational sketch describing the muskox (Ovibos moschatus) of the Northwest Territories, covering its evolutionary history, physical adaptations, behavior, reproduction, food, and management. The document traces the species' decline from overhunting in the 19th-20th centuries and its recovery under Canadian protection since 1917.

NWT Wildlife Sketches, Arctic & Red Foxes of the NWT (GNWT, 1991)
~1991Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
An illustrated wildlife guide describing the physical characteristics, distribution, habitat, food, reproduction, and economic status of arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in the Northwest Territories, including information on their seasonal behaviors, population dynamics, and fur industry harvesting.

Post-Project Analysis in Environmental Impact Assessment (UN Economic Commission for Europe, 1990)
~1990Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe report on post-project analysis (PPA) in environmental impact assessment, based on a task force led by Canada. The report analyzes 11 case studies from multiple countries to document approaches for using PPA to monitor project implementation, verify impact predictions, ensure compliance with conditions, and improve future EIA processes.

The Intrinsic Difficulty of Predicting Impacts, Lessons from the James Bay Hydro Project (Berkes, 1988)
1 January 1988Report
This academic article examines environmental impact assessment (EIA) failures and successes for the James Bay hydroelectric project in northern Quebec, analyzing six case studies of predicted and unpredicted impacts on Cree and Inuit populations. The author argues that impact prediction is intrinsically difficult due to nonequilibrium systems and identifies the need for more comprehensive ecosystem approaches, integration of social and environmental monitoring, and focus on manageable subsystems rather than linear, mechanistic assessments.

Effects of Instream Mining for Granular Materials on Grayling Habitat in Northern Alaska (DenBeste & McCart, 1986)
~1986Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
This study compared stream habitats and grayling populations in reaches affected by instream granular materials mining during Trans Alaska Oil Pipeline construction (1974-1977) with undisturbed control reaches in five northern Alaskan streams, finding that mining typically reduced habitat quality, fish size, and biomass, with effects persisting 4-9 years after disturbance, though one exceptional case showed improved juvenile grayling habitat from increased depth.

Habitats Occupied by Juvenile and Adult Arctic Grayling in Streams in the Brooks Range, Alaska (DenBeste & McCart, 1986)
~1986Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
A three-year field study examining habitat distribution of juvenile and adult Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in 23 streams across the Brooks Range, Alaska, comparing occupied habitats with available habitat to determine habitat preferences and selection patterns.

Relative Suitability of Use Functions for Juvenile and Adult Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in Streams in Northern Alaska (DenBeste & McCart, 1986)
~1986Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
This research paper presents relative suitability-of-use functions for juvenile and adult Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in 23 streams across northern Alaska, using depth, velocity, and substrate type as key habitat parameters. The study demonstrates that juvenile grayling prefer depths of 0.65 m with zero velocity and fine substrates, while adults prefer greater depths of 0.80 m, with both groups showing clear correlations between habitat suitability function values and fish occupancy and density.

Cadmium Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review (USFWS, July 1985)
1 July 1985Report
A comprehensive synoptic review of cadmium hazards to fish, wildlife, and invertebrates documenting toxicity thresholds, bioaccumulation patterns, sublethal effects, and recommendations for environmental protection standards across freshwater and marine ecosystems.
