Use of length heterogeneity polymerase chain reaction (LH-PCR) as non-invasive approach for dietary analysis of Svalbard reindeer, Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2014
To efficiently investigate the forage preference of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus), we applied length-heterogeneity polymerase chain reaction (LH-PCR) based on length differences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of ...

Functional immune diversity in reindeer reveals a high Arctic population at risk

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Climate changes the geographic range of both species as well as pathogens, causing a potential increase in the vulnerability of populations or species with limited genetic diversity.

Whole-genome sequencing provides novel insights into the evolutionary history and genetic adaptation of reindeer populations in northern Eurasia. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2023
Domestic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) play a vital role in the culture and livelihoods of indigenous people across northern Eurasia. These animals are well adapted to harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme cold, limited feed availability and ...

The introduction of reindeer to Brøggerhalvøya, Svalbard: grazing preference and effect on vegetation

Rangifer, 1993
In 1978 after about 100 years of absence, 15 Svalbard reindeer, Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus were reintroduced to Brøggerhalvøya, a peninsula on the north-western coast of Svalbard. This stock had increased to about 200 animals in 1989.

Inferences about the population history of Rangifer tarandus from Y chromosome and mtDNA phylogenies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Reindeer, called caribou in North America, has a circumpolar distribution and all extant populations belong to the same species (Rangifer tarandus). It has survived the Holocene thanks to its immense adaptability and successful coexistence with humans in

High seasonal overlap in habitat suitability in a non-migratory High Arctic ungulate

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Understanding drivers of space use and habitat selection is essential for management and conservation, especially under rapid environmental change. Here, we develop summer and winter habitat suitability models for the endemic wild Svalbard reindeer ...

Arctic Greening Drives Changes in the Diet and Gut Microbiome of a Large Herbivore With Consequences for Body Mass. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Rapid 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.

Seasonal variations and responses to normal activity of the deep body temperature in the Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus)

Rangifer, 1986
Deep body temperature was recorded in two female Svalbard reindeer during summer and winter. The reindeer were subjected to naturally occurring weather, photoperiod and stimuli in outdoor pens on Svalbard.
