Factors affecting velvet antler weights in free-ranging reindeer in Alaska

Rangifer, 1999
Free-ranging reindeer on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska are rounded up from late May to early July and antlers are removed. We used data collected from 1987 to 1997 to determine how velvet antler weights of males and females varied with age, year,

Relationships between biotic and abiotic range characteristics and productivity of reindeer husbandry in Sweden

Rangifer, 2009
Reindeer husbandry is a form of pastoralism where vast areas are used as forage ranges throughout the year. The productivity of the reindeer industry in Sweden is affected by a multitude of factors on different geographical and temporal scales.

Selinexor and Venetoclax Combination in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Preclinical studies showed a synergistic antileukemia activity with combination of selective XPO1 inhibitor selinexor (SEL) and venetoclax (VEN), with potential to overcome VEN resistance by reducing the anti‐apoptotic protein MCL1. In an investigator‐sponsored, open‐label, phase Ib study (NCT03955783), adult patients with relapsed or ...

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.

Reindeer in the USSR: problems of protection and rational use

Rangifer, 2010
There are approximately 2.2 million domestic and 1 million wild reindeer in the USSR today. It is unlikely that the number of domestic reindeer will increase further but there is a tendency for further growth in several large populations of wild reindeer.
