Energy metabolism of barren ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus)
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1970The heat production of two caribou, during fasting, 91 kcal and 102 kcal/W0.75 per 24 h, was 20 to 30% higher than the quoted interspecific mean of 70 kcal/W0.75 per 24 h. The mean heat production values of two female caribou at the maintenance level of feeding were 107.0 kcal and 124.5 kcal/W0.75 per 24 h.

Food Additives and Contaminants, 2001
Caribou kidney is a major source of cadmium (Cd) in the traditional diets of many aboriginal communities in the Arctic. In order to characterize the risk of Cd exposure, we studied the speciation of Cd in caribou kidneys and how, it can be affected by food preparation.

Serum samples from 1692 reindeer slaughtered in the Mackenzie River Delta in the last decade and from 320 Kaminuriak barren-ground caribou killed between June 1966 and July 1968 were tested for brucellosis. All sera yielding titers of 1:25 or higher were considered to be positive.

Sarcocystis in caribou (Rangifer tarandus terraenorae) in Newfoundland.
The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health, 1992Prevalence of species of Sarcocystis in muscle of 36 caribou, Rangifer tarandus terraenorae, shot in Newfoundland, Canada, was 53%. A greater percentage of infected animals were obtained from the central part of the island. The highest concentration of microscopic sarcocysts, 1/mm2 of tissue, was observed in a 5-year old animal.

Consequences of travel in the rutting of reindeer and caribou (Rangifer tarandus)
Animal Behaviour, 1970Summary Observations of rutting reindeer indicate that during herding, breeding is greatly intensified and that the general pattern of courtship behaviour exhibited in stationary groups does not occur. This may be explained by concepts which illustrate movement, high density of animals, high excitement and antler contact as possible erotic stimuli ...

Seasonal movement patterns of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Journal of Zoology, 2004AbstractFor species conservation, defining seasons according to an animal's perception and consideration of seasonal differences in its use of space is required. First, a statistical approach was used to determine seasons based on rates of movement of radio‐collared caribou Rangifer tarandus caribou.

Fire, lichens, and woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Canada's Boreal Shield
2020Threatened woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) have experienced large range recessions and population declines across much of Canada’s boreal forest in the last century and have become a major focus of conservation efforts in the region.

Seasonality is an important component in shaping the dynamics that influence ecosystems, including mortality. Animals experience temporal variation in vulnerability to mortality due to interactions among environmental conditions, nutritional condition, age and life stages, and changes in their movements and behaviours as well as those of their ...
