A century of conservation: The ongoing recovery of Svalbard reindeer [PDF]
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2019 ABSTRACTSeveral caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) populations have experienced recent population declines, often attributed to anthropogenic stressors such as harvesting, landscape fragmentation, and climate change. Svalbard reindeer (R. t.

Arctic Greening Drives Changes in the Diet and Gut Microbiome of a Large Herbivore With Consequences for Body Mass [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRapid climate warming is ‘greening’ the tundra, reflecting a higher plant biomass, particularly of deciduous shrubs and grasses. However, the consequences of these changes for herbivore nutrition are unclear.

Contrasting genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction and natural recolonization in high‐arctic wild reindeer [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Anthropogenic reintroduction can supplement natural recolonization in reestablishing a species' distribution and abundance. However, both reintroductions and recolonizations can give rise to founder effects that reduce genetic diversity and increase ...

Rumen microbial diversity in Svalbard reindeer, with particular emphasis on methanogenic archaea [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2009 Ruminal methanogens, bacteria and ciliate protozoa of Svalbard reindeer grazing natural pastures in October (late fall) and April (late winter) were investigated using molecular-based approaches. The appetite of the Svalbard reindeer peaks in August (summer) and is at its lowest in March (winter). Microbial numbers, quantified by real-time PCR, did not

Ancient reindeer mitogenomes reveal island-hopping colonisation of the Arctic archipelagos [PDF]
Scientific ReportsClimate warming at the end of the last glacial period had profound effects on the distribution of cold-adapted species. As their range shifted towards northern latitudes, they were able to colonise previously glaciated areas, including remote Arctic ...
