Museum specimens reveal changes in the population structure of northern Fennoscandian domestic reindeer in the past one hundred years
Summary Traditional reindeer herding of northern Fennoscandia has been based on seasonal movements independent of national borders. At the beginning of the 19th century, these yearly movements of reindeer were excessive, but during that century the borders between the Fennoscandian countries were cl...
