Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The George River caribou herd increased from 15,000 animals in 1958 to 700,000 in 1988 - the largest herd in the world at the time. The authors trace the fluctuations in this caribou population back to the 1700s, detail how the herd escaped extinction in the 1950s, and consider current environmental threats to its survival. In an examination of the life history and population biology of the herd, The Return of Caribou to Ungava offers a synthesis of the basic biological traits of the caribou, a new hypothesis about why they migrate, and a comparison to herd populations in North America, Scandinavia, and Russia. The authors conclude that the old maxim, "Nobody knows the way of the caribou," is no longer valid. Based on a study in which the caribou were tracked by satellite across Ungava, they find that caribou are able to navigate, even in unfamiliar habitats, and to return to their calving ground, movement that is central to the caribou's cyclical migration. The Return of Caribou to Ungava also examines whether the herd can adapt to global warming and other changing environmental realities.

Book excerpt: This report details reproductive processes in barren-ground caribou and how they are influenced by variables that reflect the physical condition of caribou. Results presented are part of a study conducted 1980-87 on effects of fire on winter range of the Beverly herd, and in which samples were obtained from 856 females in the herd. Variables studied include body weight, back fat depth, kidney fat, femur length and marrow fat content, mandibular water, antler weight, various condition indices, and number of warble fly larvae. Relationships between fecundity and condition variables were examined in four ways: relationships between means of condition variables and fecundity in samples for females older than 4 years, and for females aged 3.5-4 and 2.5-3 years; statistical comparisons of condition variable means for pregnant and non-pregnant females in seven age classes; examination of frequency distributions of condition variables at intervals through tier ranges in pregnant and non-pregnant females of breeding age; and pregnancy rates of females at intervals through the range of each condition variable.

Download or read book Reindeer and Caribou written by Morten Tryland and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive presentation of health and diseases in reindeer and caribou, or just Rangifer, a key Circumarctic species with broad social and ecological value. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in the biology and health of wild or semi-domesticated reindeer and caribou, and is more broadly relevant for those with interests in other species of free-ranging and captive cervids. Beginning with a general introduction to Rangifer as a species, it then focuses on Rangifer "health" as a concept and describes the determinants of health at an individual and population level. Chapters cover a range of topics from nutrition and feeding to stress, non-infectious and infectious diseases, meat hygiene, capture and restraint, diagnosis and treatment of health issues, and finally, potential impacts of climate change on health of Rangifer. Reindeer and Caribou: Health and Disease compiles extensive research and experience-based information on issues ranging from drug doses for chemical immobilization, blood chemistry values, and raising an orphaned calf. In addition, it contains hundreds of high quality colour illustrations that contribute to its value as a diagnostic resource for recognizing various parasites, pathogens and signs of disease, both in live and dead animals. Each chapter is followed by a comprehensive list of references and a list of contact information for all the contributors, identifying world experts in the different areas of health for this circumpolar and fascinating species. This book is compulsory reading and an indispensable resource for anyone dealing with health in reindeer and caribou, including veterinarians, wildlife biologists and managers, reindeer herders/game ranchers, zoological husbandry personnel, and students with wildlife health.

Book excerpt: Presents results of studies of the winter diet of barren-ground caribou from the Beverly herd, as determined from 1,258 samples collected over 1980-87. Fecal or rumen samples were analyzed using microhistological techniques to identify presence of recognizable plant fragments. Secondary objectives of the study were to compare results from rumen and fecal samples from the same composite group of caribou, and to evaluate diet differences among sampling procedures, duplicates, sex, ages, physical condition, season, years, location, and habitat type. Testing for sex, age, and condition differences has important implications regarding use of pellets to assess diet of caribou of unknown sex, age, and condition. The results are intended to help evaluate the validity of the technique to assess diet from feces collected on winter ranges.
