Decline of the boreal willow grouse (Lagopus lagopus) has been accelerated by more frequent snow-free springs [PDF]
, 2020 Climate change has influenced a range of species across the globe. Yet, to state a noted decline in the abundance of a given species as a consequence of a specific environmental change, for instance, spatially explicit long-term data are a prerequisite.

Relationships between fox populations and rabies virus spread in northern Canada.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Rabies spreads in both Arctic (Vulpes lagopus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) throughout the Canadian Arctic but limited wildlife disease surveillance, due to the extensive landmass of the Canadian north and its small widely scattered human population ...

Arctic fox dispersal from Svalbard to Canada: one female’s long run across sea ice
Polar Research, 2019 We report the first satellite tracking of natal dispersal by an Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) between continents and High-Arctic ecosystems. A young female left Spitsbergen (Svalbard Archipelago, Norway) on 26 March 2018 and reached Ellesmere Island ...

Extensive daily movement rates measured in territorial arctic foxes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 AbstractAn animal's movement rate is a central metric of movement ecology as it correlates with its energy acquisition and expenditure. Obtaining accurate estimates of movement rate is challenging, especially in small highly mobile species where GPS battery size limits fix frequency, and geolocation technology limits positions’ precision. In this study,

Staying in place during times of change in Arctic Alaska: The implications of attachment,alternatives, and buffering [PDF]
, 2017 The relationship between stability and change in social-ecological systems has received considerable attention in recent years, including the expectation that significant environmental changes will drive observable consequences for individuals ...

Foreword to Supplement 1: research on a polar species—the Arctic fox
Polar Research, 2017 The Arctic fox has a circumpolar distribution and is intensively studied because it is adapted to extreme environments and influences the ecology of many other species.

BMC Ecology, 2017 Background High latitude ecosystems are at present changing rapidly under the influence of climate warming, and specialized Arctic species at the southern margin of the Arctic may be particularly affected.

Polar Research, 2017 Three decades have passed since the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) was first put into a population genetic perspective. With the aim of addressing how microevolution operates on different biological levels, we here review genetic processes in the Arctic fox
