Endoparasites in the endangered Fennoscandian population of arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) [PDF]
European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2011 The Fennoscandian arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population is endangered due to overharvest and competition with the larger red fox (Vulpes vulpes). In this study, we have screened the population in Sweden for endoparasites by analysis of non-invasively faecal samples collected at reproductive dens during two summers, one with low food abundance (2008 ...
