Energy expenditure of free-living reindeer estimated by the doubly labelled water method
Rangifer, 2000 The doubly labelled water (DLW) method was used to measure total energy expenditure (TEE) in three male reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) aged 22 months in winter (February) while the animals were living unrestricted at natural mountain pasture in ...

Sea or summit? Wild reindeer spatial responses to changing high‐arctic winters
Ecosphere, 2021 Because of climate change, wildlife is facing altered environments, including profound shifts in temperature and precipitation regimes. In snow‐dominated ecosystems, winter warming and resulting changes in snowpack properties impact forage accessibility ...

Do seasonal changes in Svalbard reindeer fur have relevance for heat transfer?
Rangifer, 2002 Physical characteristics of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) fur samples were examined with respect to season. A total of 33 dorsal fur sections including adults and calves were investigated.

Metagenomics of the Svalbard reindeer rumen microbiome reveals abundance of polysaccharide utilization loci. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Lignocellulosic biomass remains a largely untapped source of renewable energy predominantly due to its recalcitrance and an incomplete understanding of how this is overcome in nature.

Estimating the daily dry matter intake of Svalbard reindeer in late winter
Rangifer, 1987 Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) store large reserves of subcutaneous fat during summer and autumn which, it has been suggested, might be sufficient to meet a substantial part of their energy requirements during winter.

Spatiotemporal distribution of Arctic herbivores in spring: Potential for competition?
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Biotic interactions are important to the structure and dynamics of food webs and may affect the spatial and temporal distribution of species. In the Arctic, spring snow-cover limits food availability at a critical time for herbivores, potentially leading

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Humans are often perceived as predators by free‐living animals, and thus, even non‐consumptive human activities such as outdoor recreation may trigger behavioural and physiological responses, often with negative consequences on individual fitness and population persistence.
