Retracing the Response of Rangifer to Postglacial Climate Change in Arctic Islands
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Our study examines the role of sea ice and glacial retreat in shaping the biogeography of Rangifer tarandus across Arctic islands since the last glacial period. Using mitochondrial DNA analysis and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) modelling, we found that Arctic island dispersal occurred during the Holocene, with sea ice cover likely influencing ...

A fire suppression model for forested range of the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq herds of caribou
Rangifer, 1996 A fire suppression model was developed for forested winter range of the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq (formerly Kaminuriak) herds of barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) in north-central Canada.

Surface enlargement in the rumen of free-ranging muskoxen ( Ovibos moschatus ) [PDF]
, 2018 The intraruminal papillation pattern indicates the degree of rumen contents stratification and is related to the feeding niche of a ruminant. Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) display a variety of morphophysiological adaptations typical for grazers.

Coyotes Choose Cover Over Concrete When Selecting Den Sites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Reproductive decision‐making impacts fitness, especially in dynamic urban environments. Thus, we assessed urban coyote den site selection in Atlanta, GA. We found that coyotes made decision on both the site and structure of dens to mitigate fitness related risk and safeguard their young.

Inferences about the population history of Rangifer tarandus from Y chromosome and mtDNA phylogenies
Ecology and EvolutionReindeer, called caribou in North America, has a circumpolar distribution and all extant populations belong to the same species (Rangifer tarandus). It has survived the Holocene thanks to its immense adaptability and successful coexistence with humans in

What is a reindeer? Indigenous perspectives from northeast Siberia [PDF]
, 2014 The reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) is the mainstay of most of the indigenous cultures and economies of the Eurasian north. Yet much of the literature ignores indigenous perspectives in favour of ecological perspectives based on a resource-oriented model ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Spruce budworm epidemic induces tree mortality and modifies understory communities. Could aerial spraying of Btk reduce perturbations in understory communities? Biannual Btk spraying could prevent both wood loss and understory degradation. ABSTRACT Since 1985, more than 10 million hectares of Canadian forests have been treated against spruce budworm ...
