Reindeer population size and trend on Edgeøya Svalbard
Polar Research, 1998 Two censuses made of the population of Svalbard reindeer on Edgeoya in 1983 and 1996 resulted in 1586 and 2434 individuals respectively. Together with data from earlier population surveys (1969-77), this indicates, numerically, a population growth during the period 1969-96.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.Seasonal changes shape herbivore behaviour by altering forage availability and habitat conditions; however, few studies integrate diet and habitat selection data across temporal scales. This study uses seasonality as a unifying framework to combine fine‐scale GPS‐based habitat selection data with broader‐scale dietary information from stable isotope ...

Serosurvey of three virus infections in reindeer in northern Norway and Svalbard
Rangifer, 1993 Sera from 326 Norwegian reindeer (NR) and from 40 Svalbard reindeer (SR) were examined for antibodies to reindeer herpesvirus (RHV), bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) and parainfulenza type 3 virus (PIV-3).

Remote Sensing, 2022 Conservation of wildlife depends on precise and unbiased knowledge on the abundance and distribution of species. It is challenging to choose appropriate methods to obtain a sufficiently high detectability and spatial coverage matching the species ...

Floral Herbivory of Dryas octopetala by Svalbard Reindeer
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2003 Abstract In polar semidesert communities of northwest Spitsbergen the reproductive potential of keystone vascular plant species, such as Dryas octopetala, is currently being constrained by low summer temperatures, resulting in the infrequent production of viable seeds.

Herbivore decline switches a high Arctic plant community from top‐down to bottom‐up control
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.Declining abundance of large herbivores in the Arctic loosens the top‐down control on the vegetation, which now responds primarily to the changing climatic conditions and follows the general greening pattern observed in a warming Arctic. These changes may impact terrestrial ecosystem element cycling, with knock‐on effects on the dynamics in adjacent ...

Snowmobile impact on diurnal behaviour in the Arctic fox
Polar Research, 2017 As tourism increases globally, studies have documented impacts on wildlife from anthropogenic disturbances. In this observational experiment we aimed to investigate if snowmobile traffic affected the diurnal activity of Arctic fox in High Arctic Svalbard.

Rainfall and Rain‐on‐Snow Events Over Greenland in Summer: Climatology, Trends, Synoptics
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Rain‐on‐snow (ROS) events in the Arctic can lead to major impacts on the snow cover, cryosphere and environment. During the last decades, these events have significantly increased, mostly due to climate change. Here, we use outputs from the regional climate model MAR (version 3.14) driven by the ERA5 reanalysis at 10‐km resolution over ...

Stress responses to repeated captures in a wild ungulate
Scientific Reports, 2022 While capture-mark-recapture studies provide essential individual-level data in ecology, repeated captures and handling may impact animal welfare and cause scientific bias.
