“…Wild reindeer from Murmansk/Kola Peninsula are forest reindeer, R. t. fennicus , sharing a clade with those from Karelia and Arkhangelsk; these share two haplotypes with domestic reindeer from the same regions, but show only a low incidence of hybridisation, indicating ancient introgression ( Baranova et al 2016 ; Korolev et al 2017 ; Vasilchenko et al 2020 ).…”

Advancements in molecular and phylogenetic analysis have revealed the need for greater taxonomic resolution since Rangifer (Reindeer and caribou: Cervidae) was last revised in 1961. Recent literature shows that many of the subspecies and several species synonymised out of existence are, in fact, valid, some names have been misapplied, and new subspecies-level clades are in need of description. This paper reviews available names for recently defined ecotypes of reindeer and caribou in compliance with ICZN rules for zoological nomenclature.

“…This pattern was later confirmed by the analysis of the mtDNA control region [3]. Phylogenetic analysis based on mtDNA sequences of reindeer from the continental part of the northeast Russia showed a close relationship with animals from the Siberian tundra [59]. Using 16 microsatellite loci, Baranova et al [79] found poor separation of reindeer from eastern Eurasia in some habitats (Tomsk region, Khanty-Mansy Autonomous district, Taymyr, Yakutia, and Chukotka), as evidenced by their close genetic relationship.…”

“…The first results were obtained in the 1960s and wide application of the gel electrophoresis method followed [53–56]. Further advent of more subtle methods, like mitochondrial [4; 14; 57–59] and microsatellite [4; 60–64] markers, allowed researchers to determine the phylogeny and origin of reindeer individuals, as well as to estimate the genetic variability and degree of differentiation between populations. An application of a commercial BovineSNP50K BeadChip revealed a generally high level of diversity in Russian reindeer [23; 34], which was confirmed by our present research.…”

Genetic diversity and population structure of domestic and wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L. 1758): A novel approach using BovineHD BeadChip

Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L. 1758) are an essential element of the Russian Far North, providing a significant source of nutrition for the representatives of 18 ethnicities. The species has wild and domestic forms, which are in constant interaction. The aim of our study was to characterize the genetic structure of domestic and wild reindeer populations, using a genome-wide bovine genotyping array (BovineHD BeadChip). The wild reindeer samples were obtained from the western Taymyr Peninsula population and from the taiga and tundra populations in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The domestic populations included the Evenk, Even, and Chukotka-Khargin breeds of Yakutia and the Nenets breed from the Nenets Autonomous district and Murmansk region. The level of genetic diversity was higher for the wild population. Analyzing Neighbor-Net tree, multidimensional scaling, and Structure results, we observed strong genetic population structure and clear differentiation between domestic and wild populations. All regional populations of domestic reindeer were clearly separated, while wild reindeer showed similar genetic backgrounds. Nevertheless, we found contrasting patterns in the genetic structure of the tundra and taiga reindeer, in accordance with their morphological and ecological differences. Thus, our study revealed a clear genetic differentiation between domestic and wild reindeer populations. It provides novel insights into the genetic diversity and structure of reindeer populations, to support resource utilization and aid in the development of genetic improvement strategies and conservation programs for this species.

“…Human activities (including the work of herdsmen, hunters, biologists, and veterinarians) can also have an impact on parasite diversity and distribution. The presence of only three main ruminant species, reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) [6][7][8][9][10], muskox (Ovibos moschatus) [11,12], and snow sheep (Ovis nivicola) [13,14], facilitates the analysis of possible helminth exchange in the northern Palearctic. Reindeer occupy this territory fairly evenly in contrast to the more limited distribution of snow sheep.…”

The Russian Arctic supports wild sympatric ruminants and their data-deficient helminths. In this study, we: (1) collected fecal samples of wild and semiwild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus), and snow sheep (Ovis nivicola) across Palearctic North territories: Arkhangelsk Oblast (including Novaya Zemlya archipelago), Karelia and Sakha Republics, Kola, Yamal, Taimyr, and Chukotka Peninsulas, Bering, Svalbard, and Wrangel Islands; (2) conducted a coprological survey (noninvasive life-time method preferable for protected animals) to obtain eggs and larvae of helminths inhabiting digestive, respiratory, nervous, and muscular systems; (3) identified helminths according to their morphology and DNA sequences; (4) estimated parasite load per host; (5) analyzed our findings. Varestrongylus eleguneniensis (in reindeer) was reported for the Palearctic for the first time, while Orthostrongylus sp. was reported both for R. tarandus and for the Palearctic for the first time. Capillarid-type eggs were reported for snow sheep for the first time. The question of the role of wild Arctic ruminants as vectors for rotifers was raised.
