The art of avoidance: bedsite use, antipredator strategies, and predation risk in white‐tailed deer fawns

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
Horizontal visibility, rather than concealment cover, drove fawn bedsite use and predation risk. Greater field of view decreased the odds of coyote predation, likely by facilitated by early detection. As fawns transitioned from hiders to followers, they shifted from using dense overstory concealment to more open overstory that favored improved escape ...

Salivary glands in Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) and in Norwegian reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The aim of this investigation was to compare the size of salivaty glands in Svalbard reindeer {Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) and in Norwegian reindeer (Rangifer t. tarandus) in relation to feeding strategy, season and reproductive status.

Balancing forage and fear: How people, environment and predators shape reindeer grazing in the Fennoscandian tundra

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3182-3200, September 2026.
Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.

Survival in the Rockies of an endangered hybrid swarm from diverged caribou (Rangifer tarandus) lineages

open access: yes, 2009
In North America, caribou (Rangifer tarandus) experienced diversification in separate refugia before the last glacial maximum. Geographical isolation produced the barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) with its distinctive migratory ...

Protostrongylid nematodes in caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) and moose (Alces alces) of Newfoundland

open access: yesRangifer, 1998
Two species of protostrongylid nematodes with dorsal-spined, first-stage larvae, are present in caribou and moose of Newfoundland. Elaphostrongyius rangiferi Mitskevich, 1958, a parasite introduced from Scandinavia, causes periodic epizootics of a severe neurological disease in caribou. Sick animals exhibiting signs of cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis (

Investigating Flexible Migration in Hudson Bay Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Facultative migration has been hypothesized as a strategy to optimize energetic gain in response to environmental fluctuations. The forest-tundra and forest-dwelling ecotypes of Ontario woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are often presumed to ...

Spatial signatures of group cohesion

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 9, Page 2755-2769, September 2026.
Abstract Wildlife populations are undergoing unprecedented changes to their spatial distributions as a result of human activities. Innovative approaches are needed to document these changes, especially in cases where sampling is sparse. Here, we contribute to the tools available in spatial ecology by developing novel metrics based on the coefficient of
