Why are Svalbard Arctic foxes Brucella spp. seronegative?
Polar Research, 2022 Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) are susceptible to smooth Brucella (s-Brucella) infection and may be exposed to such bacteria through the consumption of infected marine mammals, as implied by the finding of s-Brucella antibodies in polar bears (Ursus ...

Temporal activity shift in arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) in response to human disturbance
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 The rapidly growing interest for nature-based recreational activities threaten biodiversity values and increases the disturbance caused to wildlife. Several studies have demonstrated spatial and temporal activity shifts of animals in response to human ...

Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.

Foxes and food subsidies: anthropogenic food use by red and Arctic foxes, and effects on Arctic fox survival, on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska [PDF]
, 2013 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013Food subsidies have the potential to impact wildlife on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes (L., 1758)) expanded their range into Arctic regions during the 20th century, and the ...

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.We distributed a survey to global institutions housing bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) to collect data on factors which may affect litter survival. Information from the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) and studbook records supplemented this dataset. We found that within northern temperate regions, the number of pups reared to the age of 1

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Resource fluctuation is a major driver of animal movement, influencing strategic choices such as residency vs nomadism, or social dynamics. The Arctic tundra is characterized by strong seasonality: Resources are abundant during the short summers but ...

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

Ancient origin and genetic segregation of canine circovirus infecting arctic foxes ( Vulpes lagopus ) in Svalbard and red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ) in Northern Norway [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020 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 its distribution worldwide. Recently, CanineCV was also detected in wild animals such as wolves, foxes
