Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Ringed seals (Pusa hispida) in Svalbard, Norway, are suspected to be declining due to a significant reduction in land‐fast sea ice, which serves as an essential breeding habitat, but were last surveyed in 2002. We address this data gap by conducting Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) aerial surveys throughout Isfjorden (including adjacent small ...

Predicting the combined impacts of future management and climate change on moorland bird species
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3314-3326, December 2025.Our study illustrates the value of combining predictions of the impacts of management and climate change on animal populations. Management decisions guided by models fitted only under contemporary scenarios may lead to unexpected, and potentially undesirable, population trajectories as climatic conditions change over the short and medium term. Abstract

Ecology and EvolutionIn the Arctic tundra, predators face recurrent periods of food scarcity and often turn to ungulate carcasses as an alternative food source. As important and localized resource patches, carrion promotes co‐occurrence of different individuals, and its use ...

A Test of the Long‐Term Efficiency of Genetic Rescue With Drosophila melanogaster
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.ABSTRACT Genetic rescue is considered a promising but underutilised conservation strategy to mitigate inbreeding depression and restore genetic diversity. Yet, empirical evidence supporting its long‐term efficacy is limited to studies investigating short‐term effects.

What does the fox say? Arctic fox vocalization and associated den behaviours
Polar ResearchFoxes (Vulpes spp.) are small, solitary canids with relatively low social complexity compared to more gregarious canids, such as wolves and dogs. They are, therefore, expected to have a relatively simple vocal repertoire, with limited low-intensity ...

Age determination of the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) using the pulp cavity–tooth width ratio
Medical Journal of Cell BiologyThe aim of this study was to ascertain the suitability of an age determination method which uses the ratio between the width of the pulp cavity and the width of the tooth itself.

Åtgärdsprogram för fjällräv, 2017–2021 : (Vulpes lagopus)
, 2017 The arctic fox is classified as endangered in Sweden and critically endangeredin Norway. It was a common species on the mountain tundra during the 19thcentury, but the population declined severely at the end of the 19thcentury inresponse to intensive harvesting.

Snowmobile impact on diurnal behaviour in the Arctic fox
Polar Research, 2017 As tourism increases globally, studies have documented impacts on wildlife from anthropogenic disturbances. In this observational experiment we aimed to investigate if snowmobile traffic affected the diurnal activity of Arctic fox in High Arctic Svalbard.
