Patterns of distribution and movements of a reestablished muskox (Ovibos moschatus) population were examined during 1987-90. The study area was located on coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in northeastern Alaska. I hypothesized that muskoxen wintered in the same areas in consecutive years, that distribution differed between winter and summer, and that home range size and movements were smaller in winter than in summer. The distribution of animals was documented by direct observation of radio-collared muskoxen in 1987-1990. Seasonal movements were determined from locations of satellite radio-collared cow muskoxen from fall 1987 to spring 1990. Each year, an average of 21 radio-collared cows and 3 radio-collared bulls were followed, and 1 to 5 of the collared cows also carried satellite radio-collars (Harris et aL, 1990; Reynolds, 1989). Data presented are preliminary results of an on-going study. In winter (Nov.-Feb.), the Sadlerochit River in the center of the study area was used by the largest number (70-100) of muskoxen during the 3 years of the study. This river had been used by muskoxen during the past 2 decades in winter and in summer (Jingfors, 1980; Reynolds et aL, 1987; Robus, 1981; Roseneau and Warbelow, 1974). The Kongakut River to the east was also an important wintering area for 40-50 muskoxen every year. Mixed-sex muskox groups of muskoxen first wintered in the Kongakut in 1987-88, although bull groups had been seen in this location in winter for at least the past decade. (Reynolds et aL, 1987). Muskoxen also wintered each year between Pokok Bay and the Niguanak River, an area which was used during the past decade in winter and summer (Reynolds et aL, 1987). To the west, muskoxen wintered in the hills south of Camden Bay and between the east and west forks of the Tamayariak River, along bluffs and creeks near Red H i l l on the Canning River, near the mouth of Marsh Creek and in hills near the Nularvik River. Numbers of animals observed in and near drainages varied from year to year indicating that not all individuals wintered in the same location each year. About 30 muskoxen spent the summer along the Sadlerochit River in 2 of the 3 years, but in 1989, less than 10 animals were seen on this river during summer. Other animals wintering on the Sadlerochit River moved west to the west fork of the Tamayariak River and the Canning River delta for most of the summer. In earlier years, muskoxen remained along this drainage throughout the summer (Jingfors, 1981; Robus 1981). Muskoxen wintering on the
