Global Warming and effects on the Arctic Fox
Science Progress, 2008 We predict the effect of global warming on the arctic fox, the only endemic terrestrial predatory mammals in the arctic region. We emphasize the difference between coastal and inland arctic fox populations. Inland foxes rely on peak abundance of lemming prey to sustain viable populations. In the short-term, warmer winters result in missed lemming peak

Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High‐Arctic Shorebirds [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental research questions, given their behavioural, ecological and evolutionary consequences.

Note on the Arctic Fox (Canis lagopus) [PDF]
Nature, 1903 A RATHER peculiar error in regard to this animal seems in danger of being perpetuated in certain contemporary literature, in which it is stated that, while in the other regions of its distribution the Arctic fox generally acquires a white winter coat, in Iceland this change never takes place, but that all the foxes there are blue.

What does the fox say? Arctic fox vocalization and associated den behaviours
Polar ResearchFoxes (Vulpes spp.) are small, solitary canids with relatively low social complexity compared to more gregarious canids, such as wolves and dogs. They are, therefore, expected to have a relatively simple vocal repertoire, with limited low-intensity ...

Predation patterns on the tundra—genetic barcoding of scats from two sympatric fox species
Arctic Science, 2023 In the Arctic tundra, climate-induced emergence of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758)), a competitor to the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus (Linnaeus, 1758)), is predicted to influence predation patterns of both fox mesopredators.

Were ancient foxes far more carnivorous than recent ones?-Carnassial morphological evidence.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Crown shape variation of the first lower molar in the arctic (Vulpes lagopus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) was analyzed using five groups of morphotypes.

Arctic Science, 2021 Climate change increases the risk of severe alterations to essential wildlife habitats. The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus (Linnaeus, 1758)) uses dens as shelters against cold temperatures and predators.

Morbillivirus-associated lipid pneumonia in Arctic foxes [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2018 We describe lipid pneumonia in 5 of 24 Arctic foxes ( Vulpes lagopus) in association with morbillivirus infection, and lymphoid depletion in 3 of these 5 foxes. Canine distemper virus (CDV) immunohistochemistry yielded positive staining in lung, lymph nodes, spleen, adipose tissue, and renal pelvic urothelial cells in 5 cases.
