Impacts of climate change on the seasonal distribution of migratory caribou (2009, background): “…rate of Svalbard reindeer are limited by winter climatic conditions, particularly in years with increased snow levels, potentially due to decreased forage availability and reduced mobility, thereby increasing starvation and death of unhealthy individuals (Aanes et al., 2000; Solberg et al., 2001).”
