Reindeer use of alpine summer habitats. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN: 1652-6880, ISBN: 91-576-7122-2 Alpine areas in the Scandinavian mountain region are used for grazing by semidomesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) during the snow-free season. These areas are also used for outdoor recreation and tourism. In summer the reindeer seek nutritive forage and relief from insect harassment during warm weather. Their habitat selection is also expected to be affected by human occurrence in the ranges. Knowledge of reindeer habitat use is needed in management, both within reindeer husbandry and society as a whole. This thesis presents research on habitat selection by reindeer at the landscape level within three temporal scales (whole summer, four summer periods, and daily cycles). The study was conducted in four study areas (210 to 4000 km 2 each) within three reindeer herding districts in Sweden: Idre Nya Sameby (62°00’N), Handölsdalen (63°00’N) and Sirges (67°00’N).
