Genetic structure of immunologically associated candidate genes suggests arctic rabies variants exert differential selection in arctic fox populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Patterns of local adaptation can emerge in response to the selective pressures diseases exert on host populations as reflected in increased frequencies of respective, advantageous genotypes.

Foxes and food subsidies: anthropogenic food use by red and Arctic foxes, and effects on Arctic fox survival, on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska [PDF]
, 2013 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013Food subsidies have the potential to impact wildlife on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes (L., 1758)) expanded their range into Arctic regions during the 20th century, and the ...

Notes on a large Arctic fox scull
Fauna Norvegica, 1985 A female arctic fox Alopex lagopus was found dead on 23 June 1984 in Jämtland, Sweden. Upon measuring her skull, it turned out to be notably larger than reported for arctic foxes in the literature.

Rough-legged buzzards, Arctic foxes and red foxes in a tundra ecosystem without rodents.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Small rodents with multi-annual population cycles strongly influence the dynamics of food webs, and in particular predator-prey interactions, across most of the tundra biome. Rodents are however absent from some arctic islands, and studies on performance

Space Use of an Expanding Generalist Predator Is Shaped by Human, Marine and Seasonal Effects on Arctic Tundra [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGeneralist species that benefit from human impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and expand their distribution range can threaten biodiversity by outcompeting or predating on native specialists.
