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

Predator–prey relationships: arctic foxes and lemmings [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 1999 1. The number of breeding dens and litter sizes of arctic foxesAlopex lagopuswere recorded and the diet of the foxes was analysed during a ship‐based expedition to 17 sites along the Siberian north coast. At the same time the cyclic dynamics of co‐existing lemming species were examined.2.The diet of arctic foxes was dominated by the Siberian ...

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.

Search for Barents: Evaluation of possible burial sites on north Novaya Zemlya, Russia [PDF]
, 2002 Three cairns on northernmost Novaya Zemlya identified as possible rock-pile graves by Russian investigators in 1977 and 1988 were located and inspected for human remains. These cairns are in the area visited by Dutch seafarers between 17 and 22 June 1597,

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

Polar Research, 2018 Canine distemper virus (CDV), canine adenovirus (CAdV) and canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) cause disease in dogs (Canis familiaris). These, or closely related viruses, may also infect wild carnivores. The aim of this study was to investigate exposure to

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2004 The study presents estimates of heritability for fur coat and reproduction traits in arctic and silver foxes kept on Polish farms. The estimates of variance components were calculated using the DFREML and single-trait animal models.
