Selected bibliography on publications related to caribou (North America)

This list is being constantly updated as articles are added throughout the web related to caribou (North America). Attempts will be made to add some annotations. This list was begun on September 6, 2014.

Background edit

On December 17, 2013, I began to contribute to Migratory woodland caribou with this sentence:

"In their Annual Report 2006-2007,[1] the Office of the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario argued that, "Woodland caribou represent the "hard-to-perceive, slow-motion crisis"[2][3]: 33  that faces many species at risk.""[4]: 29 

On December 20, 2013, I created the page Boreal woodland caribou from migratory woodland caribou Wikichecker Oceanflynn (62).

On January 1, 2014 I began to contribute to on the article Reindeer

In July 2014 there was an active discussion on the talk page about merging Caribou (North America) with reindeer

On September 6, 2014, I created this list of caribou-related bibliographic references I had cited in Wikipedia articles. I also created a user page to monitor edits to reindeer the reindeer article as there was a September 6, 2014 proposal to merge the two articles caribou North America with reindeer. I voted against the merge but continued to contribute to both articles. Th sandbox page was designed to monitor these changes as a protection against any suggestion of conflict of interest. It will also serve to record mass deletions and reversions such as those that took place on the reindeer article in early September 2014.

I continued to add a lot of fully referenced content to a number of caribou-related articles, based on many journal articles and months of work, including reindeer and to the article I had created Caribou (North America) (now deleted), Boreal woodland caribou,

On September 16, 2015 AlbinoFerret announced the end of the discussion with a majority calling for merging caribou to reindeer. "There is consensus to merge the articles. The discussion was good and the arguments on both side stayed on topic. There is also strong support for merging caribou to reindeer."


On October 20, 2017 User Wasechun tashunka merged the Caribou (North America) with Reindeer and deleted -147,776 bytes.

On September 14, 2017 HG created this archived link to the archived Caribou article just prior to merging [1] "This is an old revision of this page, as edited by I dream of horses (talk | contribs) at 10:21, September 14, 2017 (HG) (3.2.0)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision."

2019 to do list edit

  • "[S]ince the mid-1990s, the Bathurst herd has declined by approximately 90%, leading to severe harvest restrictions.[5]: 4 

My contributions to the article reindeer edit

In North America, the species Rangifer tarandus (locally known in North America as caribou,[6][7][6] was subdivided into five subspecies by Alexander William Francis Banfield, who worked with both the Canadian Wildlife Service and the National Museum of Canada, in his often-cited 1961 classification, was subdivided into five subspecies of Rangifer tarandus: 1) the largely migratory barren-ground caribou subspecies Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus,which are found mainly in the Canadian territories of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, along with western Greenland; 2) the subspecies Rangifer tarandus caribou which is divided into ecotypes: boreal woodland caribou, (also known as forest-dwelling, woodland caribou (boreal), mountain woodland caribou and migratory woodland caribou) —the migratory George River Caribou Herd, for example in the Ungava region of Quebec; 3) Rangifer tarandus pearyi (Peary caribou), the smallest of the species, known as Tuktu in Inuktitut, found in the northern islands ofNunavut and the Northwest Territories; 4) Rangifer tarandus granti subspecies Grant’s caribou, which are mainly migratory and live in Alaska and the northern Yukon and 5) the R. t. dawsoni subspecies, †Queen Charlotte Islands caribou from the Queen Charlotte Islands {extinct since 1910)and </ref>[8][9] Caribou are classified by ecotype depending on several behavioural factors - predominant habitat use (northern, tundra, mountain, forest, boreal forest, forest-dwelling), spacing (dispersed or aggregated) and migration (sedentary or migratory).[10][11][12] For example, the subspecies Rangifer tarandus caribou is further distinguished by a number of ecotypes, including boreal woodland caribou, mountain woodland caribou and migratory woodland caribou) —the migratory George River Caribou Herd, for example in the Ungava region of Quebec.[8]

The Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus subspecies, in Norway referred to as the Svalbard reindeer which seems to have evolved from large European reindeer.[13] Svalbard reindeer has peculiarities in its metabolism. The skeleton shows a remarkable relative shortening of the legs, thus parallelling many extinct insular deer species.[14]

A 1961 classification divided reindeer into two major groups, the tundra reindeer (with six subspecies) and the woodland reindeer (with three subspecies).[citation needed] Some of the tundra's subspecies are small-bodied, high-Arctic island forms. These island subspecies are probably not closely related, since the Peary caribou and the extinct Arctic reindeer are closely related and probably evolved in high-Arctic North America, not from the large European reindeer as is Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus.[13]

Subspecies and Ecotypes edit

Some of the species Rangifer tarandus and subspecies - R. t. buskensis,[15]R. t. caboti,[Notes 1][15][16] R.t. caribou, †R. t. dawsoni (extinct), R.t. eogroenlandicus, R. t. fennicus, R. t. granti, R. t. groenlandicus, R. t. l, R. t. pearsoni,[15]R. t. platyrhynchus, R. t. phylarchus,[15] R. t. pearsoni, R. t. pearyi, R. t. sibiricus,[15] R. t. tarandus, R. t. terraenovae[Notes 2][15][16] may be further divided by ecotype depending on several behavioural factors - predominant habitat use (northern, tundra, mountain, forest, boreal forest, forest-dwelling, woodland, woodland (mountain), woodland (boreal), woodland (migratory)), spacing (dispersed or aggregated) and migration (sedentary or migratory).[17][18][19] In North America, because of its vast range in a wide diversity of ecosystems, the subspecies Rangifer tarandus caribou is further distinguished by a number of ecotypes, including boreal woodland caribou, mountain woodland caribou and migratory woodland caribou). Populations or herds may not fit into narrow ecotypes. For example, Banfield's 1961 classification of the migratory George River Caribou Herd, in the Ungava region of Quebec, as subspecies Rangifer tarandus caribou, woodland caribou, remains although other woodland caribou are mainly sedentary.

I added the citation here:

Some populations of the North American caribou, for example, many herds in the subspecies, the barren-ground caribou, and some woodland caribou in Ungava and Labrador, migrate the farthest of any terrestrial mammal, travelling up to 5,000 km (3,100 mi) a year, and covering 1,000,000 km2 (390,000 sq mi).[20][21] Other North American populations, the woodland caribou (boreal) for example, are largely sedentary.[22] In Europe populations have a shorter migration. Island herds such as the subspecies R. t. pearsoni and R. t. platyrhynchus make local movements.(Citation needed|date=May 2012)

In 1986 Kurtén reported that the oldest reindeer fossil was an "antler of tundra reindeer type from the sands of Süssenborn" in the Pleistocene

(Günz) period (680,000 to 620,000 BP).[23] By the 4-Würm period (110-70,000 to 12-10,000) its European range was very extensive. Reindeer occurred in

...Spain, Italy and southern Russia. Reindeer [was] particularly abundant in the Magdalenian deposits from the late part of the 4-Wurm just before the end of the Ice Age: at that time and at the early Mesolithic it was the game animal for many tribes. The supply began to get low during the Mesolithic, when reindeers retired to the north.

— Kurtén 1968:170

"In spite of the great variation, all the Pleistocene and living reindeer belong to the same species."[23]

Humans started hunting reindeer in the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, and humans are today the main predator in many areas. Norway and Greenland have unbroken traditions of hunting wild reindeer from the ice age until the present day. In the non-forested mountains of centralNorway, such as Jotunheimen, it is still possible to find remains of stone-built trapping pits, guiding fences, and bow rests, built especially for hunting reindeer. These can, with some certainty, be dated to the Migration Period, although it is not unlikely that they have been in use since the Stone Age.Citation needed|date=May 2012

More recent contributions include: In October 2017, U. S. Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, announced that as of December 6, 2017, lands under the administration of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management will be up for bid on the "largest offering of public lands for lease in the history of the [BLM] — 10.3 million acres".[24] The Prudhoe Bay Oil Field, near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska is situated between the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to the east. Industry will be allowed to run "roads, pipelines and drill rigs" in the very sensitive habitat areas, including the the Teshekpuk caribou herd calving grounds. The Teshekpuk herd remains at the calving grounds for several weeks in spring before moving Teshekpuk Lake for relief from mosquitoes and botflies before their annual migration.[24]


Teshekpuk Lake and Central Arctic herds edit

...By 2017, the Teshekpuk herd numbers, whose calving grounds are in the region of the shallow Teshekpuk Lake,[24] had declined to 41,000 animals.[24] Teshekpuk Lake in the North Slope is in the traditional lands of the Iñupiat who depended on the Teshekpuk herd. Teshekpuk Lake is also in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, where the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) had approved oil and gas drilling in January 11, 2006 in the Lake Teshekpuk region.[25][26] On September 25, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska protected the wildlife habitat around the lake from an oil and gas lease sale.[27] In the summer of 2006 300,000 comments were sent by the Iñupiat and others to the US Secretary of the Interior and ConocoPhillips CEO to protest the decision. On September 25, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska issued a decision that removed the wildlife habitat around Teshekpuk Lake from an oil and gas lease sale.[27] In October 2017, U. S. Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, announced that as of December 6, 2017, lands under the administration of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management will be up for bid on the "largest offering of public lands for lease in the history of the [BLM] — 10.3 million acres".[24] The National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) is the "single largest parcel of public land in the United States" covering about 23 million acres". The reserve’s eastern border sits about 100 miles to the west of the more famous Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
