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 ...

Linear enamel hypoplasia in caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus): A potential tool to assess population health

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
We studied the presence of linear enamel hypoplasias (LEHs; tooth defects associated with physiological stress) in caribou (Rangifer tarandus). A timeline of tooth enamel development was determined by radiographic examination of 48 mandibles from caribou

Evidence of alphaherpesvirus infections in Alaskan caribou and reindeer

BMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background The reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) industry in Alaska began with animals imported from Siberia (Russia) in the 1890's. Cervid herpes virus 2 (CvHV2) is endemic in reindeer in Scandinavia.

Habitat partitioning between woodland caribou and moose in Ontario: the potential role of shared prédation risk

Rangifer, 1996
This paper explores mechanisms of coexistence for woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) and moose (Akes alces) preyed upon by gray wolves (Canis lupus) in northern Ontario.

Spatial factors influencing northern mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus) survival and distribution in the Telkwa Range [PDF]

, 2017
Human-induced habitat alteration has led to the decline of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations across Canada. The many challenges in conserving caribou are exemplified by a herd of northern mountain caribou in the Telkwa Range of ...

Genetic connectivity of boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in central Canada

, 2015
Delineating population units is essential for the conservation and management of a species. Applying a genetic approach to delineate units, this study identifies genetic population structure, and landscape resistance to gene flow, of the nationally threatened boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) across the ecotypes’ southern range in ...
