Book Description
"In July 2012, an aerial fixed-wing transect survey of Peary caribou species and muskoxen species was conducted on the Melville-Prince Patrick Island complex, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. This area had not been surveyed for these species since 1997. A Helio Courier was used for the survey with observers on each side and a recorder/navigator in the front. Survey lines were generally spaced at 5 km intervals and ground coverage was about 20%. We estimated the population of Peary caribou on the Melville-Prince Patrick complex to be over 5,500 adult caribou, where in 1997 the population estimate was below 1,000. We estimated the population of muskoxen on the Melville-Prince Patrick complex to be over 3,500 adult caribou [sic], where in 1997 the population estimate was below 2,400. In 1997 there were no living caribou found on the smaller islands of the complex (Eglinton, Emerald and Byam Martin islands), however in this survey caribou were found on all three islands. In 1997 and in this survey there were no living muskoxen on Emerald or Byam Martin Island. Results showed an increase in overall numbers of caribou and muskoxen since 1997; however the trend between the 1997 and 2012 surveys is unknown because of the extended time between surveys. We assessed weather patterns from 1979-2012 in the area using the MERRA data base; this suggested that winter icing events were relatively rare over this period and snow cover generally was consistent"--Page ii.
