Body composition and population regulation of Svalbard reindeer
Rangifer, 1984 <p>After severe winters, body weight, fat, and lean tissue of the high Arctic Svalbard reindeer may be reduced by 50, 90-97 and 30-40% respectively. Absence of harassment from predators, insects and man allows surviving animals to rapidly restore body reserves during the summer. That accumulation of large pre-winter body reserves is essential, as

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Red foxes that expand into tundra ecosystems threaten biodiversity, and knowledge on their space use is needed to inform management efforts. We found that red fox space use varied with seasons and with environmental contexts. Space use is likely affected by food densities linked to seasonality, human land use and the marine coastline.

Trace elements in the alimentary tract of Svalbard reindeer
Rangifer, 1985 <p>In the alimentary tract of Svalbard reindeer concentrations of Fe and Co were higher in winter than in summer, whereas the concentrations of Mn and Cu were equal in both seasons. Zn concentrations were higher in summer throughout the alimentary tract, but Mo were highest only in the distal part.

Chemical composition of reindeer forage plants in Svalbard and Norway
Ecography, 1983 Several of the most important reindeer forage plants in Svalbard were analysed for content of minerals (Na, K, P, Ca, Mg, S, Cl, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Mo and Co) and for content of ash, crude protein, crude fiber, ether extracts and nitrogen free extracts. Some forage plants were also examined in in vitro digestibility trials.

Low spatial habitat overlap of herbivores in the High Arctic tundra
Global Ecology and ConservationHerbivores play a crucial role in shaping tundra ecosystems through their effects on vegetation, nutrient cycling, and soil abiotic factors. Understanding their habitat use, co-occurrence, and overlap is therefore essential for informing ecosystem-based ...
