Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) perception of noise from power lines [PDF]

, 2003
There has been concern about possible effects of noise from power lines on reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) behaviour. Based on recent establishment of the reindeer audiogram and measurements of corona noise from two power lines of 300 kV and 420 kV,

Forest and fire drive moose (deníe) detections near their northern range limit

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One way to understand species range shifts in response to anthropogenic climate change is to study populations living at the limit of climate and resource suitability. Moose Alces alces (deníe in Dënesųłıné) generally require forest–wetland landscape complexes but are increasingly seen across the forest–tundra transition at their northern range limit ...

Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) and climate change: Importance of winter forage [PDF]

, 2002
As a consequence of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, climate change is predicted to be particularly pronounced, although regionally variable, in the vast arctic, sub-arctic and alpine tundra areas of the northern hemisphere.

Reproductive success under constraints: Does increased maternal activity during lactation offset poor habitat and individual quality in an income breeder?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐induced environmental modifications may alter forage access and, hence, how animals manage energy trade‐offs during critical periods. Reproduction, especially lactation, is the most energetically costly process for female mammals.

Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Metric and non-metric guides for the determination between fore- and hindlimb phalanges of Rangifer tarandus

Rangifer, 2019
Phalanges are a great untapped resource in the zooarchaeology of Rangifer tarandus. The utilization of this resource, however, is constrained by a current inability to consistently differentiate fore- from hindlimb phalanges in a mixed assemblage.

Gough's Cave and biomolecular archaeology: a story of evolving interpretation Archéologie biomoléculaire à la grotte de Gough's Cave : une interprétation en constante évolution

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Gough's Cave is a key archaeological site that has been at heart of British archaeology for the past century. Professor Chris Stringer, whom this special issue honours, has been a key figure in excavations and research projects at the site for many decades.

Helminths of Rangifer tarandus (Artiodactyla, Cervidae) across the southern part of its continental range

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука
Rangifer tarandus in the southern Palaearctic remains poorly documented, particularly with respect to its helminth fauna. Existing data are scarce for these small, isolated, and conservation-significant populations.
