| Title: | St. Matthew Island reindeer crash revisited: their demise was not nigh - but then, why did they die? / Frank L. Miller, Samuel J. Barry, Wendy A. Calvert. |
| Author(s): | Miller, Frank L. Barry, Samuel J. Calvert, Wendy A. |

| In: | Rangifer. (2005.), Special issue No. 16 (2005) |
| Abstract: | Re-examines population crash of introduced reindeer on St Matthew Island in winter 1963-1964. Challenges view that only density-dependent food-limitation was necessary to cause crash and presents evidence to demonstrate that winter weather was all-important factor leading to premature, extreme and exceptionally rapid, near total single-year loss. |
