  • Muskox status, recent variation, and uncertain future

    Open AccessChristine Cuyler, Janice Rowell et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 1References: 55

    Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) are an integral component of Arctic biodiversity. Given low genetic diversity, their ability to respond to future and rapid Arctic change is unknown, although paleontological history demonstrates adaptability within limits. We discuss status and limitations of current monitoring, and summarize circumpolar status and recent variations, delineating all 55 endemic or translocated populations. Acknowledging uncertainties, …

  • CircumArctic Collaboration to Monitor Caribou and Wild Reindeer

    Open AccessDon E Russell, Anne Gunn et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2015

    Caribou and wild reindeer (Rangifer) are integral to ecology and Aboriginal lives and culture in circumArctic regions. Since reaching peak size in the 1990s, most herds have been declining, while their ranges are changing as the footprint of people’s activities expands and the climate warms. More than ever, then, people need to share information and experience on Rangifer management and conservation. In recognition of this need for a circumArctic…

  • What Happened to the Beverly Caribou Herd after 1994

    Open AccessJan Adamczewski, Anne Gunn et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2015

    The Beverly herd was one of the first large migratory herds of barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) defined in northern Canada on the basis of annual return of breeding females to traditional calving grounds near Beverly Lake in Nunavut. In 1994, herd size was estimated at 276 000 ± 106 600 (SE) adult caribou, but monitoring was minimal from 1994 to 2007. The next calving ground survey in 2002 revealed that caribou densities ha…

  • Raymond Darwin Cameron III (1941–2014)

    Open AccessRobert White, Robert L White et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2015

    Ray Cameron was widely known as an Arctic scientist and a caribou biologist. And Ray was just as well known and appreciated by colleagues, friends, and family as social and sociable, generous, and as helpful to others as a human can be. In his community of Ester, Alaska, Ray probably plowed more driveways for friends, hosted more gatherings, and organized more barn and house raisings than anyone

  • Serum Biochemistry and Serum Cortisol Levels of Immobilized and Hunted Muskoxen ( Ovibos moschatus ) from Northern Canada

    Open AccessN Jane Harms, Brett T Elkin et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2012

    Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) are Arctic-adapted ruminants native to the Arctic regions of Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. Little is known about the serum biochemistry and serum cortisol of this species, or the effects of chemical immobilization on serum biochemical parameters. This study aimed to describe blood chemistry parameters and cortisol levels in hunted, tame, and chemically immobilized muskoxen and to examine differences in blood chemistry…

  • Sea Ice and Migration of the Dolphin and Union Caribou Herd in the Canadian Arctic

    Open AccessKim G Poole, Anne Gunn et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2010

    Caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus × pearyi) of the Dolphin and Union herd migrate across the sea ice between Victoria Island and the adjacent Canadian Arctic mainland twice each year, southward in fall–early winter and northward in late winter–spring. As a result of warmer temperatures, sea ice between Victoria Island and the mainland now forms 8–10 days later than it did in 1982, raising questions about the impact of delayed ice formation…

  • A Near-Total Decline in Caribou on Prince of Wales, Somerset, and Russell Islands, Canadian Arctic

    Open AccessAnne Gunn, Frank L Miller et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2009

    The number of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) on Prince of Wales, Somerset, and Russell islands in the south-central Canadian Arctic declined by 98% in 15 years, from an estimated 6048 (16% calves) in 1980 to an estimated 100 (0% calves) in 1995. Those estimates were obtained by systematic aerial surveys that used the same design and methods and comparable survey coverage. We do not have the data needed to determine the rate of decrease between 1980 …

  • Calibration of Hunters' Impressions with Female Caribou Body Condition Indices to Predict Probability of Pregnancy

    Open AccessP O ’b Lyver, P O'B Lyver et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2004

    Aboriginal harvests of barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus) potentially offer a large sample for assessing body condition. The purpose of this study was to determine the probability that a certain amount of fat would be at designated anatomical sites when Dënesóline hunters qualitatively report the condition of an animal. Hunters' impressions were used to evaluate the condition of adult female barren-ground caribou (R. t. groenlandicus) in l…

  • Catastrophic Die-off of Peary Caribou on the Western Queen Elizabeth Islands, Canadian High Arctic

    Open AccessFrank L Miller, Anne GunnARTICLEARCTIC2003

    The Peary caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi) is an endangered species in Canada, having been in an overall decline since 1961. Sightings of Peary caribou were compared from two aerial searches, in 1993 and 1998, on Bathurst and its neighbouring islands, western Queen Elizabeth Islands in the Canadian High Arctic. The comparison indicated a near-total (98%) cataclysmic decline in the number of Peary caribou seen per unit of search effort. In summe…

  • The History, Status and Management of Muskoxen on Banks Island

    Open AccessAnne Gunn, Chris Shank et al.ARTICLEARCTIC1991

    Historical and archaeological records suggest that muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) were once abundant on Banks Island. They declined around the turn of the 20th century and remained at very low population levels until the 1970s. The causes of the scarcity of muskoxen are unknown, but severe freezing rains and subsequent forage unavailability likely played a role. Aerial surveys documented an increase in the estimated population size from 3800 in 1972…

  • Recovery of Tundra Vegetation after Overgrazing by Caribou in Arctic Canada

    Open AccessGreg H R Henry, Anne GunnARTICLEARCTIC1991

    During the summer of 1987, 500-1000 caribou became stranded on Rideout Island in Bathurst Inlet, Northwest Territories. The 40 sq/km island did not have sufficient forage to support the animals until freeze-up, and the caribou eventually died from malnutrition after severely overgrazing the vegetation. In late July 1988, we found that most of the vascular vegetation on Rideout Island had recovered considerably. Vascular species composition and co…

  • Nursing by Muskox Calves before, during, and after Helicopter Overflights

    Open AccessFrank L Miller, Anne Gunn et al.ARTICLEARCTIC1988

    Nursing bouts by 15 muskox (Ovibos moschatus) calves were measured to evaluate potential use of nursing behaviour as an indicator of muskox responses to helicopters. The muskox calves nursed 225 times during 313 hours of observation: 63% under undisturbed conditions; 12% when helicopter overflights took place; and 25% following those overflights. During exposure to the helicopter, the calf moved to the cow and then sometimes took the opportunity …

  • Observations of Barren-Ground Caribou Travelling on Thin Ice during Autumn Migration

    Open AccessFrank L Miller, Anne GunnARTICLEARCTIC1986

    In October 1982 we observed the consequences of migrating barren-ground (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) encountering lake ice too thin to bear their weight. The observations were made on a portion of taiga winter range of the Beverly caribou herd during autumn migration in the Northwest Territories. We observed caribou hesitating to cross ice that had no snow cover and also saw caribou breaking through ice. Bulls had greater difficulty extricat…

  • Muskox Bull Killed by a Barren-Ground Grizzly Bear, Thelon Game Sanctuary, N.W.T

    Open AccessAnne Gunn, Frank L MillerARTICLEARCTIC1982

    The carcass of an adult muskox bull (Ovibos moscharus) killed by a barren-ground grizzly bear (Ursus arctos richardsoni) was found in the Thelon Game Sanctuary. It is suggested that adult muskox bulls along the Thelon River system have become prey for at least some grizzly bears that have learned to ambush them in dense vegetation

  • Population Increase of Muskoxen on Banks Island and Implications for Competition with Peary Caribou

    Open AccessDorothée Vincent, Anne GunnARTICLEARCTIC1981

    Surveys were flown in March 1979 and 1980 north and south of 73 deg. N on Banks Island to estimate numbers of muskoxen. Observed total was 11809 animals and estimated population was 18328 muskoxen, suggesting that the population has continued to expand since previous surveys in the early 1970s. A comparison with previous surveys of densities between the north and the south of the island indicates muskoxen have spread from the Thomsen River valley…
