Ecosystem drivers of an Arctic fox population at the western fringe of the Eurasian Arctic [PDF]
Polar Research, 2017 The distribution of traditional breeding dens on the Varanger Peninsula (70–71°N) in northernmost Fennoscandia indicates that this area once harboured a large Arctic fox population.

Homage to Hersteinsson and Macdonald: climate warming and resource subsidies cause red fox range expansion and Arctic fox decline [PDF]
Polar Research, 2017 Climate change can have a marked effect on the distribution and abundance of some species, as well as their interspecific interactions. In 1992, before ecological effects of anthropogenic climate change had developed into a topical research field ...

Arctic Fox Migrations in Manitoba
ARCTIC, 1976 A review is provided of the long-range movements and migratory behaviour of the arctic fox in Manitoba. During the period 1919-75, peaks in population tended to occur at three-year intervals, the number of foxes trapped in any particular year varying between 24 and 8,400.

Effects of an Arctic Fox Visit to a Low Arctic Seabird Colony [PDF]
ARCTIC, 2011 A visit by an arctic fox ( Alopex lagopus ) to Funk Island, Newfoundland, during 2009 had a negative impact on the breeding performance of five of the nine breeding seabird species. Species that nest in burrows (Atlantic puffin Fratercula arctica ) or on the ground (northern fulmar Fulmarus glacialis , great black-backed Larus marinus and herring ...

Harmonizing circumpolar monitoring of Arctic fox: benefits, opportunities, challenges and recommendations [PDF]
Polar Research, 2017 The biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council has developed pan-Arctic biodiversity monitoring plans to improve our ability to detect, understand and report on long-term change in Arctic biodiversity. The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) was identified

Snowmobile impact on diurnal behaviour in the Arctic fox [PDF]
Polar Research, 2017 As tourism increases globally, studies have documented impacts on wildlife from anthropogenic disturbances. In this observational experiment we aimed to investigate if snowmobile traffic affected the diurnal activity of Arctic fox in High Arctic Svalbard.

Conservation of the endangered Arctic fox in Norway - are successful reintroductions enough? [PDF]
, 2022 Translocation of captive-bred animals has become a widespread conservation practice to counteract species extinctions. We analyse and discuss the apparent success and shortcomings of Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) reintroductions in alpine tundra areas of ...

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.
