Unique genetic features of canine adenovirus type 1 (CAdV-1) infecting red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in northern Norway and arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) in Svalbard [PDF]
, 2019 Canine adenovirus type 1 (CAdV-1) is the aetiological agent of infectious canine hepatitis (ICH) in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris). In spite of the widespread use of vaccination, CAdV-1 continues to circulate in the dog population.

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 ...

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

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.

Polar Research, 2017 Three decades have passed since the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) was first put into a population genetic perspective. With the aim of addressing how microevolution operates on different biological levels, we here review genetic processes in the Arctic fox

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Multi‐year monitoring of the crevice‐nesting High Arctic seabird, the Little Auk (Alle alle), across four colonies spanning distinct climatic regimes revealed that snowmelt timing is a key and consistent driver of breeding phenology. Earlier snowmelt advances access to nesting habitat, enabling birds to initiate reproduction sooner. These findings show

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.
