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 ...

Transferrin variation and evolution of Alaskan reindeer and caribou, Rangifer tarandus L. [PDF]
Rangifer, 1986 Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to analyse transferrin variation in wild caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) and domestic reindeer (R.t. tarandus) from Alaska. Eighteen alleles were detected in caribou and ten alleles were detected in reindeer.

Predation and caribou populations [PDF]
Rangifer, 1991 Predation, especially wolf (Canis lupus) predation, limits many North American caribou (Rangifer tarandus) populations below the density that food resources could sustain. The impact of predation depends on the parameters for the functional and numerical

Genetic survey of caribou populations using microsatellite DNA
Rangifer, 1996 Microsatellite loci are highly variable regions of eukaryotic DNA that consist of tandemly repeated sequences of one to six nucleotides in length. The use of microsatellites and the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are powerful tools for quantifying ...

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.
