  1. 1. Optimal foraging in an Arctic herbivore : How does the foraging behaviour of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) respond to seasonal changes from summer through autumn of the Arctic tundra?

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Emma Limosa Djurberg; [2023]
    Keywords : foraging behaviour; phenology; ungulate; Arctic; Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus;

    Abstract : Foraging decisions of large herbivores can be affected by many factors and have great effect on both above- and below-ground ecosystems. Here, I determine to which degree temporal (seasonality), or spatial (habitat) factors influence the foraging behaviour of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) and asses if small-scale foraging behaviour correlates with an animals’ patch residence time.
