Impacts of human activity on reindeer and caribou: The matter
Rangifer, 2007 The impacts of human activity and infrastructure development on reindeer and caribou (Rangifer tarandus) have been studied for decades and have resulted in numerous debates among scientists, developers and indigenous people affected.

Caribou of the Central Arctic Region of Alaska in relation to adjacent caribou herds
Rangifer, 1986 There was an unusual increase in numbers of caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) in the Central Arctic region of Alaska from 1981 to 1985. In fall and winter numbers were up to five times greater than at the onset of calving in June.

A study of the impact of population bottlenecks on the genetics and morphology of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) on the island of South Georgia [PDF]
, 2007 Numerous studies have shown that population bottlenecks result in loss of genetic diversity and as a consequence of this, it is commonly inferred that there is a loss of evolutionary potential.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Animal mass mortality events are increasing under global change, generating large and unpredictable pulses of carrion that can influence ecosystem functioning. Although scavenger dynamics at individual carcasses are relatively well understood, little is known about how terrestrial vertebrate and invertebrate assemblages exploit large carrion ...

Wetland habitat selection by woodland caribou as characterized using the Alberta Wetland Inventory
Rangifer, 2011 We examined habitat selection by woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in northwestern Alberta based on a wetland classification system developed for the Alberta Vegetation Inventory. Our two objectives were to describe caribou habitat use, and to

, 2016 Migratory barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) provide an opportunity to examine the genetic population structure of a migratory large mammal whose movements and distribution, in some instances, have not been heavily influenced by ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.Located at the southern extent of the species' range, polar bears in James Bay exhibited intrapopulation variation in space use, resulting in two spatial clusters during the on‐ice season. Some bears remained within southern James Bay, whereas others ranged more broadly north of the bay.

Arctic ungulates at the northern edge of terrestrial life
Rangifer, 1996 The two ungulate species that occur in the High Arctic, Rangifer tarandus and Ovibos moschatus, exhibit considerable adaptive plasticity in response to habitat variability throughout their circumpolar distribution. R.

Incorporating burn probability into spatial prioritization of woodland caribou habitat restoration
Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.Abstract Introduction Habitat disturbance is a major driver of population declines of woodland caribou in Canada. Habitat restoration is a critical component of a successful, long‐term approach to caribou recovery; however, with limited resources, it is important to target areas where restoration efforts will provide maximum benefits to caribou.
