Taxonomy notes

Harding (2022) suggested splitting R. tarandus into the following 6 species: groenlandicus (Greenland), platyrhynchus (Svalbard), caribou (much of Boreal Canada including the Ungava Peninsula), arcticus (tundra and boreal forests in Alaska, north and west Canada, and the Queen Elizabeth Islands), tarandus (east Siberian tundra and mountains of Scandanavia), and fennicus (eastern Europe to the Altai Mountains); this arrangement is tentatively not followed here, although it may be included upon rexamination
