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 ...

Spatiotemporal distribution of Arctic herbivores in spring: Potential for competition?
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Biotic interactions are important to the structure and dynamics of food webs and may affect the spatial and temporal distribution of species. In the Arctic, spring snow-cover limits food availability at a critical time for herbivores, potentially leading

Impact of Tusk Anomalies on the Long-Term Foraging Ecology of Narwhals. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe combined stable δ13C and δ15N isotope analysis and genetic sexing to investigate whether narwhals with dental anomalies have a distinct long‐term foraging ecology. Our results showed no difference in stable isotope signature of two‐tusked male and one‐tusked female narwhals relative to normal‐tusked narwhals, indicating that an extra tusk does not ...

Why don't Svalbard reindeer migrate?
Ecography, 1989 Reindeer and caribou are best known as migratory, seasonally nomadic animals; many continental populations, for example, travel between distinct summer and winter ranges which may lie hundreds of km apart. Much less is known about the movements of animals belonging to island populations.

When the sun never sets: diverse activity rhythms under continuous daylight in free-living arctic-breeding birds [PDF]
, 2013 Circadian clocks are centrally involved in the regulation of daily behavioural and physiological processes. These clocks are synchronized to the 24-hour day by external cues (Zeitgeber), the most important of which is the light-dark cycle.

Estimating the daily dry matter intake of Svalbard reindeer in late winter
Rangifer, 1987 Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) store large reserves of subcutaneous fat during summer and autumn which, it has been suggested, might be sufficient to meet a substantial part of their energy requirements during winter.
