Natality and calf mortality of the Northern Alaska Peninsula and Southern Alaska Peninsula caribou herds

open access: yesRangifer, 2003
We studied natality in the Northern Alaska Peninsula (NAP) and Southern Alaska Peninsula (SAP) caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) herds during 1996-1999, and mortality and weights of calves during 1998 and 1999- Natality was lower in the NAP than the SAP

Wetland location and captive breeding influence trans‐Mediterranean movements in the endangered Marbled Duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris)

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 245-258, January 2026.
Waterbirds distributed in semi‐arid and arid regions seem to have adapted their behaviour to the availability and seasonality of wetlands, increasing their mobility range. The Marbled Duck Marmaronetta angustirostris is a threatened waterbird that shows trans‐Mediterranean movements but these are poorly known.
