Links related to caribou
Caribou refers to any of a number of North American subspecies of Rangifer tarandus.
Recent[edit]
- Endangered Mammals: Included on this list are Rangifer tarandus caribou (Atlantic–Gaspéspie population) — Woodland Caribou; This link is redirected to Migratory woodland caribou. So the lede for this article needs to use the phrase Atlantic–Gaspéspie population with an inline citation to the source.
- Threatened Mammals: Included on this list are
- Rangifer tarandus caribou (Boreal population) — Woodland Caribou. This correctly redirects to the article on Boreal woodland caribou.
- Rangifer tarandus caribou (Southern Mountain population)[1] — Woodland Caribou This incorrectly redirects to the article on Migratory woodland caribou.
- Mammals of Special Concern included on this list are Rangifer tarandus caribou (Northern Mountain population) — Woodland Caribou. This link is erroneously redirected to Migratory woodland caribou. There should be an article on Montane Woodland Caribou. Temporarily the lede of Migratory woodland caribou should mention other ecotypes and populations of caribou to include Montane Woodland Caribou.

- 'Rangifer tarandus granti is a subspecies of the caribou found in Alaska and adjacent parts of Canada. It resembles the subspecies, barren-ground caribou R. t. groenlandicus, and is sometimes included in it.
- Barren-ground caribou Rangifer tarandus granti
- also known as woodland caribou, woodland caribou (boreal group), forest-dwelling caribou, Rangifer tarandus caribou.
- "The Gwich'in people of the northern Interior region are Athabaskan and primarily known today for their dependence on the caribou within the much-contested Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The North Slope and Little Diomede Island are occupied by the widespread Inupiat people."; "Hunting for subsistence, primarily caribou, moose, and Dall sheep is still common in the state..." "Alaska's reindeer herding is concentrated on Seward Peninsula, where wild caribou can be prevented from mingling and migrating with the domesticated reindeer."
- The paragraph in this article explains the historical relationship between reindeer imported from eastern Siberia to the Seward Peninsula in 1892. They were brought to the Peninsula with hopes of preventing reindeer from merging with the Western Arctic Caribou Herd.
- [[1]] This subsection on Reindeer and caribou explains,
- "Genetic polymorphism of serum transferrins in reindeer is used in population and genetic studies.[2][3] Gene concentrations of alleles in populations of reindeer of the North-East of Siberia were compared with those in reindeer inhabiting Norway, the northern regions of the European part of the USSR and from North American caribou. Researchers found that frequencies of Tf alleles of the Siberian reindeer differed from all the others. It is possible that resistance to necrobacteriosis is related to concentrations of alleles in certain reindeer populations.[3]"
