Arctic–alpine environments and tourism: Can sustainability be planned? Lessons learned on Svalbard [PDF]
The Arctic is a region of spectacular and diverse mountain environments. One example is the Svalbard Archipelago in the Norwegian high arctic. Despite its remote location in the Arctic Ocean, Svalbard has an astonishingly diverse economy based on coal ...

Calving site characteristics and habitat use in Svalbard reindeer
, 2018 Migrating reindeer and caribou tend to return to traditional calving locations every spring with specific environmental conditions and protection of calving grounds is a central part of Rangifer conservation. In contrast, the non-migratory Svalbard reindeer inhabit an environment free of predators during calving season making them ideal as a reference ...

Identifying drivers of calving in Svalbard Reindeer
In seasonal environments, the importance of a well-timed calving that matches spring start and onset of plant growth has resulted in a highly synchronous calving season in large herbivores. Timing is important because it determines both neonatal and parental resource allocation and future reproductive potential.

Genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction in high-arctic Svalbard reindeer
, 2020 Anthropogenic reintroductions are a commonly used conservation strategy following local extirpations. However, establishing new populations with a small number of founders can result in population bottlenecks causing reduced genetic diversity, increased inbreeding, and altered genetic structuring of sub-populations.
