Abstract
In North America, caribou (Rangifer tarandus) experienced diversification in separate refugia before the last glacial maximum. Geographical isolation produced the barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) with its distinctive migratory habits, and the woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), which has sedentary behaviour and is threatened across large areas of its distribution. Herein we report on the phylogenetics, population structure, and migratory habits of caribou in the Canadian Rockies, utilizing mtDNA, microsatellites, and GPS spatial data for 223 individuals.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
