The alternative prey hypothesis revisited: Still valid for willow ptarmigan population dynamics.
PLoS ONE, 2018 The alternative prey hypothesis predicts that the interaction between generalist predators and their main prey is a major driver of population dynamics of alternative prey species.

Were ancient foxes far more carnivorous than recent ones?-Carnassial morphological evidence.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Crown shape variation of the first lower molar in the arctic (Vulpes lagopus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) was analyzed using five groups of morphotypes.

Genetic rescue in an inbred Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Isolation of small populations can reduce fitness through inbreeding depression and impede population growth. Outcrossing with only a few unrelated individuals can increase demographic and genetic viability substantially, but few studies have documented such genetic rescue in natural mammal populations.

Low Persistence of Genetic Rescue Across Generations in the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2021 AbstractGenetic rescue can facilitate the recovery of small and isolated populations suffering from inbreeding depression. Long-term effects are however complex, and examples spanning over multiple generations under natural conditions are scarce. The aim of this study was to test for long-term effects of natural genetic rescue in a small population of ...

Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules in domestic and wild animal species [PDF]
, 2016 Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules (HTBS), or "mucoperiosteal exostoses" (ME, syn.) are small, globular (>= 1 mm in diameter), mostly stalked and drumstick-like, bony structures, which arise from the inner wall of the tympanic bulla and project into the
