Observation of Arctic island barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) migratory movement delay due to human induced sea-ice breaking

open access: yes, 2013
The seasonal migration of the Dolphin and Union caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) herd between Victoria Island and the mainland (Nunavut/Northwest Territories, Canada) relies on the formation of sea-ice that connects the Island to the mainland ...

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Investigating the relationship between antipredator behavior and human disturbance using LiDAR imagery

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The human‐built environment influences the behavior and survival of many species, but most of these studies have been conducted in urban areas. Yet, anthropogenic development may impact species differently across scales, including at the rural level. We examined whether the built environment in a rural area obstructed visibility and influenced

Effects of medetomidine and atipamezole on serum glucose and cortisol levels in captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus)

open access: yes, 1999
Serum concentrations of glucose and Cortisol were measured in five adult captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) at 24 h and 10 min before, and at 0.5, 1,2,4, 8, 12 and 24 h after, treatment with 60 p.g/kg of medetomidine i.v.

Impacts of reindeer grazing on phosphorus sorption and nutrient availability in a tundra site

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Reindeer Rangifer tarandus, a large circumpolar herbivore, can influence whether nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) is the primary limiting nutrient in tundra plant communities. Specifically, findings from a site in northern Scandinavia suggest that under conditions where reindeer grazing stimulates inorganic N availability, grazing may drive ecosystems ...

Seasonal variation of leaf functional traits in sub‐Arctic plants

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Leaf functional traits are informative of plant fitness and functions in ecosystems. These functional traits and their variation across geographic extents are much studied but less is known about their temporal variation over a growing season. Here, we provide an analysis of the seasonal variation in six leaf functional traits of 11 sub‐Arctic vascular

Effect of behavioral marginality on survival of an alpine ungulate

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Inter‐individual variability in behavior has been studied extensively for a wide range of species. However, few researchers have considered marginality, defined as the degree to which a choice made by an individual is located at the margins of the ...

Effects of selective harvest on antler size of white‐tailed deer in Texas, USA

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 222, Issue 1, June 2026.
We conducted 20 years of experiments on the selective harvest of white‐tailed deer by antler size, judged inferior, in 2 areas of South Texas, USA. Selective harvest increased the phenotypic antler size of older males in one study area but not the other. There was little evidence of evolution resulting from selective harvesting. Abstract There has been
