A battle of the mountains: Intraguild competition between arctic fox Vulpes lagopus and red fox Vulpes vulpes [PDF]
, 2019 Fjellreven (Vulpes lagopus) er en truet art i Fennoskandia. Konkurranse med rødreven (Vulpes vulpes) er regnet som en av hovedtruslene for fjellrevens utbredelse. Flere bevaringstiltak har blitt satt i gang for å redde fjellreven, både støttefôring av fjellreven, uttak av rødrev og et avls- og reintroduksjonsprogram.

Predation patterns on the tundra—genetic barcoding of scats from two sympatric fox species
Arctic Science, 2023 In the Arctic tundra, climate-induced emergence of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758)), a competitor to the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus (Linnaeus, 1758)), is predicted to influence predation patterns of both fox mesopredators.

Direct Interaction Between Roe Deer and Mountain Hare, a Case of Interference Encounter Competition? [PDF]
Ecol EvolHere, we report on a case of direct interaction between a roe deer doe and a mountain hare recorded by a camera trap in Tydal Municipality, Norway, suggestive of direct interference competition. The roe deer doe is following and displacing the mountain hare for at least 2 min and 29 s, including a 19 s active phase.

Faecal Cortisol Metabolites as an Indicator of Adrenocortical Activity in Farmed Blue Foxes
Animals, 2021 Welfare studies of blue foxes would benefit from a measurement of faecal cortisol metabolites (FCMs) as a non-invasive, physiological stress parameter reflecting hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activity.

Ancient origin and genetic segregation of canine circovirus infecting arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) in Svalbard and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Northern Norway [PDF]
, 2021 Canine circovirus (CanineCV) is a relatively new viral species, belonging to the family Circoviridae, whose pathogenic role is still uncertain. Since its first description in one domestic dog in 2011 from the USA, several reports have been documenting ...

Molecular evolution of the leptin exon 3 in some species of the family
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2003 The structure of the leptin gene seems to be well conserved. The polymorphism of this gene in four species belonging to the Canidae family (the dog (Canis familiaris) – 16 different breeds, the Chinese racoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides ...

COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF MESENTERIAL LYMPH NODES IN VULPES LAGOPUS
Scientific Notes Kazan Bauman State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, 2021 Lymph nodes are an active biological filters in which pathogens are retained and phagocy-tosed. Lymph nodules are dynamic structures of the lymph nodes. They form and disappear depend-ing on the presence of stress factors of various natures. The article presents the parameters of mes-enteric lymph nodes of carnivores in comparison with regional lymph ...

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.
