Behavioural responses of a gamebird to human encounters across the hunting season

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
We examined the behavioural adaptation of rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta in response to human encounters across the hunting season. We conducted disturbance experiments in two different parts of the species' range, in subarctic (Iceland) and in alpine (Italy) habitats.

Interactions between arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in alpine habitats in Norway : activity patterns and avoidance mechanisms [PDF]

, 2017
Forfatterens navn på omslaget: Hanne JaasundThe arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population in Fennoscandia declined drastically in the beginning of the 20th century. In contrast, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) population expanded rapidly during the 20th century.

Avian influenza overview December 2025–February 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Between 29 November 2025 and 27 February 2026, 2514 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (406) and wild (2108) birds in 32 countries in Europe. Albeit still at high levels after the peak was reached at the beginning of the current reporting period, the weekly number of detections has since ...

Multi-species state-space modelling of the hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) and red grouse (Lagopus lagopus scoticus) in Scotland

, 2010
State-space modelling is a powerful tool to study ecological systems. The direct inclusion of uncertainty, unification of models and data, and ability to model unobserved, hidden states increases our knowledge about the environment and provides new ...

A Gnawing Question: How Do Caribou and Other Arctic Mammals Exploit Shared Bone Resources?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Bones of dead animals are consumed by many species, yet the partitioning of this resource, and the associated ecological and evolutionary implications, remains poorly understood. Using bone modification features found on shed female caribou (Rangifer tarandus) antlers and skeletal bones lying on caribou calving grounds of the Arctic National Wildlife ...

Evolution and Climate Adaptation in Eurasian Gyrfalcon Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This reports the influence of past, current and future Arctic climate change to the evolution of Eurasian gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus), and reveals that its current evolutionary potential is insufficient to cope with the ongoing Arctic warming. ABSTRACT Climate change is considered a key driver for shaping ecological and evolutionary processes of ...

Comparison of Vulpes lagopus and Vulpes vulpes Skulls from Sympatric and Allopatric Populations

, 2016
Vulpes vulpes, the red fox, and Vulpes lagopus, the arctic fox, have tumultuous taxonomic histories. V. vulpes boasts cosmopolitan distribution, in part due to artificial introduction.

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co‐roosting host communities

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.

Effects of resource availability and interspecific interactions on Arctic and red foxes' winter use of ungulate carrion in the Fennoscandian low‐Arctic tundra

Ecology and Evolution
In the Arctic tundra, predators face recurrent periods of food scarcity and often turn to ungulate carcasses as an alternative food source. As important and localized resource patches, carrion promotes co‐occurrence of different individuals, and its use ...
