The chronostratigraphy of Late Pleistocene glacial and periglacial aeolian activity in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands, NWT, Canada [PDF]
, 2006 Aeolian periglacial sand deposits are common in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands of Western Arctic Canada. Regionally extensive and thick aeolian sand-sheet deposits have been observed in two major stratigraphic settings: within a sand unit characterized by ...

Foxes engineer hotspots of wildlife activity on the nutrient-limited Arctic tundra
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Predators largely affect ecosystems through trophic interactions, but they also can have indirect effects by altering nutrient dynamics and acting as ecosystem engineers. Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) are ecosystem engineers that concentrate nutrients on

Long-term responses of Icelandic Arctic foxes to changes in marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
PLoS ONE, 2023 The long-term dynamics of predator populations may be driven by fluctuations in resource availability and reflect ecosystem changes such as those induced by climate change. The Icelandic Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population has known major fluctuations

Microsatellite loci among Alaskan rabies hosts: Arctic and red fox [PDF]
, 2012 Little is known about the population dynamics between Arctic and red foxes in Alaska and consequences for rabies ecology. Both species carry different variants of rabies and inhabit different environments.

Predation of endangered Arctic foxes by Golden eagles: What do we know?
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Dedicated conservation efforts spanning the past two decades have saved the Fennoscandian Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population from local extinction, and extensive resources continue to be invested in the species' conservation and management.

Sequencing of rabies binding region on nicotinic acteylcholine receptor alpha subunits in four host species [PDF]
, 2013 • Rabies virus is known to bind to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAchR) • The virus is known to bind to alpha 1 subunits nAchR • The virus binding region has been characterized in alpha 1 subunits of these receptors • Little research has been ...
