The authors trace the fluctuations in this caribou population back to the 1700s, detail how the herd escaped extinction in the 1950s, and consider current environmental threats to its survival. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an examination of the life history and population biology of the herd, \u003ci\u003eThe Return of Caribou to Ungava \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a synthesis of the basic biological traits of the caribou, a new hypothesis about why they migrate, and a comparison to herd populations in North America, Scandinavia, and Russia. The authors conclude that the old maxim, \"Nobody knows the way of the caribou,\" is no longer valid. Based on a study in which the caribou were tracked by satellite across Ungava, they find that caribou are able to navigate, even in unfamiliar habitats, and to return to their calving ground, movement that is central to the caribou's cyclical migration. \u003ci\u003eThe Return of Caribou to Ungava \u003c\/i\u003ealso examines whether the herd can adapt to global warming and other changing environmental realities.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA.
