The Pursuit of Population Collapses: Long-Term Dynamics of Semi-Domestic Reindeer in Sweden
Spatiotemporal reindeer population fluctuations are a result of multiple factors that working in concert affectingthe structure and functioning of many Arctic and Sub-Arctic ecosystems. We investigated the population dynamics of Swedish semi-domestic reindeer from 1945 to 2012 at the reindeer herdin...

We also explored spatial trends and synchrony in population dynamics across latitudinal-longitude gradients for two distinct periods: 1945–1965 and 1995–2012 but found no evidence of largescale reindeer population declines and no visible synchrony across adjacent populations.
