• Does crypsis influence foraging patterns in a colour polymorphic Arctic fox population? 

      Pepels, Kos Jack Johan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-26)
      Seasonal coat colour moulting species moult to white winter fur for crypsis in snow-covered landscapes. Seasonal coat colour moulting occurs in birds and mammals; some are colour polymorphic; one of which is the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), having a blue and white colour morph. Camouflage, thermoregulation and physiology likely contributed to the evolution of this polymorphism. Climate change is ...
