Community knowledge on the distribution and abundance of species at risk in southern Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada / M. L. Mallory, J. Akearok, and A. J. Fontaine.: CW69-5/363E-PDF

"We conducted interviews of hunters and eIders in the Baffin Island cornmunities of Cape Dorset, Kimmirut, Iqaluit and Pangnirtung to gather traditional ecological knowledge (or Inuit Qaujimanituqangit) on species at risk in this region. In particular, we were interested in any information pertaining to the distribution and abundance of the harlequin duck (Histrionicus histrionicus), ivory gull (Pagophila eburnea), Ross' gull (Rhodostethia rosea), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), and wolverine (Gulo gulo). Information gathered from Inuit confirmed that all of these bird species occur in southern Baffin Island, although there was no evidence that the gulls breed here"--Abstract.
