Mortality in Svalbard reindeer
Ecography, 1983 Mortality rates in Svalbard reindeer followed the “U”‐shaped pattern, with higher mortality rate among calves and old animals than in middle aged individuals. Assuming a stable population size, the mortality data predict a 16.2% annual mortality and recruitment rate among 6 months and older animals, and a male:female sex ratio of 48.5:51.5 among 1‐yr ...

Direction of escape in reindeer
Rangifer, 1997 We tested the hypothesis that reindeer prefer to run uphill and upwind when escaping from man. Groups of wild and feral reindeer in Norway, Svalbard and on Wrangel Island were approached and their behaviour and direction of escape were recorded.

Transferrin variation and evolution of Alaskan reindeer and caribou, Rangifer tarandus L.
Rangifer, 1986 Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to analyse transferrin variation in wild caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) and domestic reindeer (R.t. tarandus) from Alaska. Eighteen alleles were detected in caribou and ten alleles were detected in reindeer.

ABOMASAL NEMATODES OF THE SVALBARD REINDEER (RANGIFER TARANDUS PLATYRHYNCHUS VROLIK) [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1983 Six species of abomasal nematodes were recovered from Svalbard reindeer, Marshallagia marshalli and Ostertagia grühneri were more prevalent than Skrjabinagia lyrata, Teladorsagia circumcincta, Ostertagia occidentalis and Ostertagia trifurcata. Of 24 reindeer examined all harbored adult abomasal nematodes.

Lichen bleaching as a response to long‐term experimental warming in the High Arctic
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Lichens are an important component of Arctic ecosystems. Studies have indicated a decline in the abundance of Arctic lichens during recent decades, which is often attributed to competitive pressure from vascular plants.
