The Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genome [PDF]

Genes, 2019
Rangifer tarandus, known as caribou or reindeer, is a widespread circumpolar species which presents significant variability in their morphology, ecology, and genetics. A genome was sequenced from a male boreal caribou (R. t. caribou) from Manitoba, Canada. Both paired end and Chicago libraries were constructed and sequenced on Illumina platforms.

The status of Rangifer tarandus caribou in Yukon, Canada

Rangifer, 1998
This paper summarizes the population trends as well as research and management programs for woodland caribou {Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Yukon. Most herds are stable although not all are counted regularly and systematic monitoring of herds remains an ...

Inferences about the population history of Rangifer tarandus from Y chromosome and mtDNA phylogenies [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Reindeer, called caribou in North America, has a circumpolar distribution and all extant populations belong to the same species (Rangifer tarandus). It has survived the Holocene thanks to its immense adaptability and successful coexistence with humans in

Antler casting in relation to parturition in semi-domesticated female reindeer [PDF]

, 2013
We investigated the timing of the right and left antler casting in semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) in relation to parturition using 139 antlered adult individually marked females in 2008-09 between May 5 and June 2; a period ...

Demographic history and conservation genomics of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Québec [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
AbstractThe loss of genetic diversity is a challenge many species are facing, with genomics being a potential tool to inform and prioritize decision‐making. Most caribou (Rangifer tarandus) populations have experienced significant recent declines throughout Québec, Canada, and are considered of concern, threatened or endangered. Here, we calculated the

The ecomorphology of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus): a geometric morphometric study.

Open Research Europe, 2021
Paleolithic reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus ) was a key species for human populations in western and central Europe during much of the Paleolithic period. In Southwestern France, and in particular during the Magdalenian, reindeer frequently figures among the privileged prey of hunter-gatherer ...

Mitochondrial DNA and Microsatellite DNA Variation in Domestic Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) and Relationships with Wild Caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti, Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus, and Rangifer tarandus caribou) [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2006
Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Alaska are semidomestic livestock descended from 1280 animals introduced from Siberia, Russia, approximately 100 years ago. Genetic variation at 18 microsatellite DNA loci and the cytochrome b gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was quantified in reindeer from Alaska, Siberia (Russia), and Scandinavia and compared

Chromosome-level assembly of the Rangifer tarandus genome and validation of cervid and bovid evolution insights

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Genome assembly into chromosomes facilitates several analyses including cytogenetics, genomics and phylogenetics. Despite rapid development in bioinformatics, however, assembly beyond scaffolds remains challenging, especially in species ...

Nested population structure of threatened boreal caribou revealed by network analysis

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their global range, despite ongoing conservation efforts.
