• Adaptation to the High-Arctic island environment despite long-term reduced genetic variation in Svalbard reindeer 

      Dussex, Nicolas; Tørresen, Ole Kristian; van der Valk, Tom; Le Moullec, Mathilde; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Tooming-Klunderud, Ave; Skage, Morten; Garmann-Aarhus, Benedicte; Wood, Jonathan; Rasmussen, Jacob Agerbo; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Martin, Sarah Louise; Røed, Knut; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Dalén, Love; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Martin, Michael David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Typically much smaller in number than their mainland counterparts, island populations are ideal systems to investigate genetic threats to small populations. The Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) is an ...

    • Contrasting genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction and natural recolonization in high-arctic wild reindeer 

      Burnett, Hamish Andrew; Bieker, Vanessa Carina; Le Moullec, Mathilde; Peeters, Bart; Rosvold, Jørgen; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Dalén, Love; Loe, Leif Egil; Jensen, Henrik; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Martin, Michael David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Anthropogenic reintroduction can supplement natural recolonization in reestablishing a species' distribution and abundance. However, both reintroductions and recolonizations can give rise to founder effects that reduce ...

F.; Jonsdottir, I. S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Understanding and predicting large-scale ecological responses to global environmental change requires comparative studies across geographic scales with coordinated efforts and standardized methodologies. We designed, ...
    • Growth rings show limited evidence for ungulates’ potential to suppress shrubs across the Arctic

      Global warming has pronounced effects on tundra vegetation, and rising mean temperatures increase plant growth potential across the Arctic biome. Herbivores may counteract the warming impacts by reducing plant growth, but ...
    • A paleogenomic investigation of overharvest implications in an endemic wild reindeer subspecies 

      Kellner, Fabian Laszlo; Le Moullec, Mathilde; Ellegaard, Martin Rene; Rosvold, Jørgen; Peeters, Bart; Burnett, Hamish Andrew; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Brealey, Jaelle C.; Dussex, Nicolas; Bieker, Vanessa Carina; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Martin, Michael David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Overharvest can severely reduce the abundance and distribution of a species and thereby impact its genetic diversity and threaten its future viability. Overharvest remains an ongoing issue for Arctic mammals, which due to ...
