Little consideration has 18 been given to polar herbivores, however, especially those from the European parts of the 19 Arctic. To provide a broader perspective, we aimed to decipher trace element concentration 20 in hairs of the key species in the Arctic, namely the Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus 21 platyrhynchus), and to recognise whether diet variations could correspond with forward 22 exposure. The effect of habitat and diet was investigated using the ratios of stable isotopes of 1 23 carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N), and previous literature studies on vegetation from the areas 24 of interest.

The thesis is part of a larger research programme conducted by The University of Oslo. The field work was funded by The Research Council of Norway, Norwegian Polar Institute and Framkomiteens Polarfond. I would like to thank my supervisors Olav Hjeljord and Eigil Reimers. A special thanks to Eigil for thoroughly supervision throughout the whole process and for allowing me to take part in this project. Also thanks to Pål Preede Revheim and Vidar Selås for tips on the statistical part of the thesis.

So many hours under the midnight sun, so many miles wandered in the spectacular landscape of Svalbard. Norwegian University of Life Sciences Ås, May 13th 2008 Steinar Lund 1 ABSTRACT Svalbard reindeer Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus survival is based upon minimal energy output and optimal grazing during summer, to withstand a marginal Arctic climate. Svalbard reindeer is by nature relaxed upon encounters with humans, due to the absence of coevolution with predators and humans.

The Institute advises Norwegian authorities on matters concerning polar environmental management and is the official environmental management body for Norway’s Antarctic territorial claims. The Institute is a Directorate within the Ministry of Climate and Environment. Norsk Polarinstitutt er Norges hovedinstitusjon for kartlegging, miljøovervåking og forvaltningsrettet forskning i Arktis og Antarktis. Instituttet er faglig og strategisk rådgiver i miljøvernsaker i disse områdene og har forvaltningsmyndighet i norsk del av Antarktis. Instituttet er et direktorat under Klima- og miljødepartementet. 1 Contact: Åshild Ønvik Pedersen, [email protected] Norwegian Polar Institute, Fram Centre, 9296 Tromsø, Norway Contributions: Rolf Langvatn1* (Background and rationale) Nicholas J.

Here we address recent developments in foraging and habitat selection, source–sink dynamics, competition (both within and between species), population cycles, predation (including apparent competition), mutualism, and biological invasions. Because mammals are appealing to the public, ecological insight gleaned from the study of mammals has disproportionate potential in educating the public about ecological principles and their application to wise management.
