Rangifer, 2002 Intensive reindeer grazing and the increase of other land use forms have caused a decline in the amount of arboreal (Alectoria, Bryoria spp.) and reindeer (Cladina spp.) lichens in the Finnish reindeer management area during the last few decades ...

Can a snow structure model estimate snow characteristics relevant to reindeer husbandry?
Rangifer, 2014 Snow affects foraging conditions of reindeer e.g. by increasing the energy expenditures for moving and digging work or, in contrast, by making access of arboreal lichen easier.

Detecting northern peatland vegetation patterns at ultra‐high spatial resolution
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 457-471, December 2020., 2020 Vegetation patterns in northern peatlands are spatially heterogenic from ultra‐high to coarse scale; there is also evident between‐site heterogeneity but absent comparisons between sites. We used random forest regressions for tracking plant functional type (PFT) coverage, ordination axes, and fuzzy plant community clusters in three different northern ...

Stabilizing selection and adaptive evolution in a combination of two traits in an arctic ungulate
Evolution, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 103-115, January 2020., 2020 Abstract Stabilizing selection is thought to be common in wild populations and act as one of the main evolutionary mechanisms, which constrain phenotypic variation. When multiple traits interact to create a combined phenotype, correlational selection may be an important process driving adaptive evolution.

The hygienic quality of raw reindeer milk
Rangifer, 2004 The somatic cell count (SCC) and total bacterial count (TBC) as well as the presence of major food-borne pathogens and udder pathogens in reindeer raw milk were studied. Two groups of 4 female reindeer were milked on alternate days for six weeks.

Reindeer coat colour variants in Finland
Rangifer, 2010 A research program based on reindeer coat colour had its first field survey in Finland after the calving season of May 2009. This short notice advances the main observations of the survey where, besides the wild allele, a new mutant could be identified ...
