Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.This semi‐systematic review supports the two dominant drivers of birth phenology: the seasonality and predation hypotheses. Even though there is evidence of their importance, the effects of female, offspring and population characteristics remain marginally accounted for. Asian and South and Central American species are currently understudied.

Objective Styles in Northern Field Science [PDF]
, 2015 Social studies of science have often treated natural field sites as extensions of the laboratory. But this overlooks the unique specificities of field sites.

Limiting factors in caribou population ecology
Rangifer, 1991 Caribou and wild reindeer populations fluctuate over time. On this fact there is general agreement. Factors responsible for population limitation and subsequent declines have been examined within the framework of animal population theory.

Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.

Reindeer breathe less and save water in the cold
Rangifer, 1990 Simultaneous measurements of metabolic rate, respiratory minute volume, respiratory frequency, and oxygen extraction from the inspired air were obtained during treadmill exercise in Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) and Norwegian ...

Bioenergetic trophic trade‐offs determine mass‐dependent extinction thresholds across the Cenozoic
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Body size constrains trophic interactions, shaping the feasibility of species' populations. Over macroevolutionary timescales, these constraints feed back to shape selection on body size and diet. We develop a bioenergetic, three‐level trophic framework—typical of terrestrial mammalian ecosystems—to explore how bioenergetic trade‐offs emerging

Effects of mining on reindeer/caribou populations and indigenous livelihoods : community-based monitoring by Sami reindeer herders in Sweden and First Nations in Canada [PDF]
, 2014 This paper explores the effects of human disturbances associated with mine development in the Arctic on habitat and populations of reindeer/caribou (both Rangifer tarandus), and implications for reindeer husbandry and caribou hunting of indigenous Sami ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Antler characteristics are influenced by a combination of genetics, age, and environmental factors, notably habitat quality and resource availability. In this study, we explored how diverse environmental factors, including climate and land cover composition, affect antler size, tine configuration, and the distribution of record‐scoring white‐tailed ...
