Polyphyletic origin of the small-bodied, high-arctic subspecies of tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus).

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Oct 1998

Abstract excerpt

In order to investigate the origin of the three small-bodied, high-arctic subspecies of reindeer, Rangifer tarandus pearyi (the Canadian Archipelago), R. t. eogroenlandicus (East Greenland, extinct since 1900 AD), and R. t. platyrhynchus (Svalbard), samples were collected at nine localities from...
