Parasitology, 2000 The observation that the total abundance of adult nematodes in the abomasum of Svalbard reindeer increases between October and April suggests adaptation to cope with the Arctic winter. Here we investigate the extent to which selection has led to similar life-history strategies in the 3 most numerous trichostrongyle species.

Immobilization of Norwegian Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) and Svalbard Reindeer (R. t. platyrhynchus) with Medetomidine and Medetomidine-Ketamine and Reversal of Immobilization with Atipamezole [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1990 The sedative action of medetomidine (-ketamine) was studied in 12 captive Norwegian semidomesticated reindeer (NR), including 4 newborn calves, and in 7 free-living Svalbard reindeer (SR). Medetomidine, with or without ketamine, caused effective, reliable immobilization in NR.

Captures do not affect escape response to humans in Alpine marmot
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2024, Issue 5, September 2024.Capture and manipulation are an integral part of wildlife research and management. These practices, however, can affect animals either directly or indirectly, and studies should generally evaluate the consequences of captures to ensure animal welfare and reduce sampling bias.

Does availability of resources influence grazing strategies in female Svalbard reindeer?
Rangifer, 2003 Foraging strategies and range use in wild female Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) were studied in two areas where the historical grazing pressure differed.

A palaeogenomic investigation of overharvest implications in an endemic wild reindeer subspecies
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, March 2024.Abstract Overharvest can severely reduce the abundance and distribution of a species and thereby impact its genetic diversity and threaten its future viability. Overharvest remains an ongoing issue for Arctic mammals, which due to climate change now also confront one of the fastest changing environments on Earth.

Sex allocation in Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) ; do gut parasites and maternal body condition determine the sex of the fetus? [PDF]
, 2022 Sex ratio is one of the most central demographic factors influencing species population dynamics. Intuitively, fetal sex ratio is a chance event resulting in 50 % males and 50 % females entering the population.
