Published purpose
This project will examine the causes and consequences of severe tooth damage in muskoxen using community-collected samples and observations from northern hunters. By analyzing dental abnormalities, body condition, tooth composition, and environmental factors, it will assess how these issues relate to overall health and changing climate conditions. This research aims to support wildlife monitoring, protect food security, and respond to community concerns about muskox population declines.
