Incomplete degradation of lichen usnic acid and atranorin in Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) [PDF]
Polar Research, 2019 Previous studies of Eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Norway indicate that their rumen microbiota play a key role in degrading lichen secondary metabolites. We investigated the presence of usnic acid and atranorin in faecal samples

Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) antler characteristics reflecting the local environmental conditions [PDF]
Folia Oecologica, 2019 A new non-invasive method based on picture analysis was used to estimate the conditions in Svalbard reindeer populations. The well-being of an individual subject is often expressed through visual indices.

Body composition and population regulation of Svalbard reindeer [PDF]
Rangifer, 1984 After severe winters, body weight, fat, and lean tissue of the high Arctic Svalbard reindeer may be reduced by 50, 90-97 and 30-40% respectively. Absence of harassment from predators, insects and man allows surviving animals to rapidly restore body ...

Inferences about the population history of Rangifer tarandus from Y chromosome and mtDNA phylogenies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe established for the first time comprehensive analysis of Y and mtDNA lineages in Rangifer tarandus, representing reindeer and caribou across North America, Eurasia, and the Arctic Islands. Our results highlight migrations over long distances after the Last Glacial Maximum, subsequent recolonizations, and human‐mediated trajectories, especially the ...
