Harmonizing circumpolar monitoring of Arctic fox: benefits, opportunities, challenges and recommendations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)
The biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council has developed pan-Arctic biodiversity
monitoring plans to improve our ability to detect, understand and report on long-term
change in Arctic biodiversity. The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) was identified as a target of
future monitoring because of its circumpolar distribution, ecological importance and reliance
on Arctic ecosystems. We provide ...
Vole abundance and reindeer carcasses determine breeding activity of Arctic foxes in low Arctic Yamal, Russia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-16)
High latitude ecosystems are at present changing rapidly under the influence of climate warming, and specialized Arctic species at the southern margin of the Arctic may be particularly affected. The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), a small mammalian predator endemic to northern tundra areas, is able to exploit different resources in the context of varying tundra ecosystems. Although generally widespread, ...
Snowmobile impact on diurnal behaviour in the Arctic fox
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)
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. We conducted the study in two areas in Svalbard, one control area with low snowmobile traffic and one experimental area with high snowmobile ...
