Range types and their relative use by Peary caribou and muskoxen on Melville Island, NWT / Don C. Thomas, E.J. Edmonds, and H.J. Armbruster.: CW69-5/343E-PDF

"ln 1974, landscape on eastern Melville Island was classified into range types and sampled for vegetative cover and standing crop. The primary objective was to compare relative past use of range types by Peary caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi) and muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) as measured by fecal densities. Assessing the relative importance of range types to caribou and muskoxen was one step in helping to understand their ecology and conservation as developments encroached on former wilderness"--Abstract, p. i.
