Specific IgE to reindeer epithelium in Finnish reindeer herders

Allergy, 1991
Reindeer herding is a major source of living for more than 4200 inhabitants in northern Finland. To determine the prevalence of allergic symptoms among reindeer herders clinical examinations and skin prick tests (SPT) with nine inhalant allergens were performed in 211 randomly selected men from 21 to 69 (mean 45) years.

Circadian organization in reindeer

Nature, 2005
The light/dark cycle of day and night synchronizes an internal 'biological clock' that governs daily rhythms in behaviour, but this form of regulation is denied to polar animals for most of the year. Here we demonstrate that the continuous lighting conditions of summer and of winter at high latitudes cause a loss in daily rhythmic activity in reindeer ...

Reindeer Physical Activity Patterns and Reconstruction of Feeding Behaviour: Implications for Reindeer Domestication and Human-Reindeer Interaction

2021
Recent developments in physical activity assessment of reindeer offer a possibility to identify reindeer activity in the archaeological record. These include species-specific muscle attachment site scoring, identification of activity-related pathologies, and bone biomechanical properties.

Pulmonary circulation in the reindeer

Basic Research in Cardiology, 1978
Right heart catheterizations were performed in 56 sessions on 25 reindeer with determinations of blood pressure and oxygen saturation. Cardiac output was calculated from cineangiocardiograms. When the animals were placed in prone position, heart rate was about 50/min, mixed venous blood oxygen saturation 68 to 72%, right ventricular systolic pressure ...

Reproduction in female reindeer

Animal Reproduction Science, 2000
Reindeer are either wild or kept under very extensive farming systems. They are seasonal breeders, with mating coinciding with the decreasing photoperiod in the autumn, and with calving in the spring. Little is known regarding the factors that influence reproduction in reindeer or of their reproductive physiology.

Reindeer health and welfare

Veterinary Record, 2009
I have been receiving an increasing number of referred cases of illthrift and death in reindeer recently imported into England from Scandinavia. I don't have much knowledge of this species, but it would seem that having evolved as migratory deer they have little innate ability to cope with ...

“We are Reindeer People, We Come from Reindeer.” Reindeer Herding in Representations of the Sami in Russia

Acta Borealia, 2011
Reindeer herding, a tourism emblem of the European North, is also part of a long-lasting tradition of objectification of Sami culture in Russia. Sustained in the popular imagination by Russian ethnography, the dominant order's agent for legitimization of Soviet ethnic policies, in the 1990s the tradition of exoticization and “othering” was strengthened

Epidemiology of reindeer parasites

Parasitology Today, 1986
Every Christmas we sing about Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer, but do we give much thought to why his nose is red? The general consensus is that Rudolf has caught a cold, but as far as I know no proper diagnosis has been made of his abnormal condition.

To the History of Reindeer and Reindeer Husbandry in Eastern Fennoscandia

Byulleten' Moskovskogo Obshchestva Ispytatelei Prirody Otdel Biologicheskii
The hypotheses of the reindeer appearance in Eastern Fennoscandia are discussed. Probably, reindeer appeared in the south of the Scandinavian Peninsula and then moved along the coast of the Norwegian Sea. Further, it dispersed along the Barents Sea to the north of Finland and to the northwest of the Kola Peninsula.

Reindeer Diode

The Physics Teacher, 2012
In Finnish Lapland, like in other Northern European regions by the Arctic Sea, aboriginal Sami people still base much of their daily income on reindeer. Earlier the Sami people followed their reindeer herds more or less all the year round, in nomadic fashion.
