• The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus L.) on the Kola Peninsula (Russia): silently disappearing in the mist of data deficiency? 

      Tirronen, Konstantin F.; Ehrich, Dorothee; Panchenko, D. V.; Dalén, Love; Angerbjörn, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-02)
      The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus L.) population on the Kola Peninsula occupies an intermediate, and potentially connecting, position between foxes living on the Scandinavian Peninsula and populations further east in Russia, but very little is known about the status of this population. Here we summarize data from the literature, forgotten archival sources about research in the first half of the twentieth ...
    • Documenting lemming population change in the Arctic: Can we detect trends? 

      Ehrich, Dorothée; Schmidt, Niels M.; Gauthier, Gilles; Alisauskas, Ray; Angerbjörn, Anders; Clark, Karin; Ecke, Frauke; Eide, Nina E.; Framstad, Erik; Frandsen, Jay; Franke, Alastair; Gilg, Olivier; Giroux, Marie-Andrée; Henttonen, Heikki; Hörnfeldt, Birger; Ims, Rolf A.; Kataev, Gennadiy D.; Kharitonov, Sergey P.; Killengreen, Siw T.; Krebs, Charles J.; Lanctot, Richard B.; Lecomte, Nicolas; Menyushina, Irina E.; Morris, Douglas W.; Morrisson, Guy; Oksanen, Lauri; Oksanen, Tarja; Olofsson, Johan; Pokrovsky, Ivan G.; Yu, Igor; Reid, Donald; Roth, James D.; Saalfeld, Sarah T.; Samelius, Gustaf; Sittler, Benoit; Sleptsov, Sergey M.; Smith, Paul A.; Sokolov, Alekstandr A.; Sokolova, Natalya A.; Soloviev, Mikhail Y.; Solovyeva, Diana V. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-22)
      Lemmings are a key component of tundra food webs and changes in their dynamics can affect the whole ecosystem. We present a comprehensive overview of lemming monitoring and research activities, and assess recent trends in lemming abundance across the circumpolar Arctic. Since 2000, lemmings have been monitored at 49 sites of which 38 are still active. The sites were not evenly distributed ...
    • Genomic Consequences of Fragmentation in the Endangered Fennoscandian Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) 

      Cockerill, Christopher A.; Hasselgren, Malin; Dussex, Nicolas; Dalén, Love; von Seth, Johanna; Angerbjörn, Anders; Wallén, Johan F.; Landa, Arild; Eide, Nina Elisabeth; Flagstad, Øystein; Ehrich, Dorothee; Sokolov, Aleksandr; Sokolova, Natalya; Norén, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-11-15)
      Accelerating climate change is causing severe habitat fragmentation in the Arctic, threatening the persistence of many cold-adapted species. The Scandinavian arctic fox (V. lagopus) is highly fragmented, with a once continuous, circumpolar distribution, it struggled to recover from a demographic bottleneck in the late 19th century. The future persistence of the entire Scandinavian population is ...
    • 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 ...
    • Homage to Hersteinsson and Macdonald: climate warming and resource subsidies cause red fox range expansion and Arctic fox decline 

      Elmhagen, Bodil; Berteaux, Dominique; Burgess, Robert. M.; Ehrich, Dorothee; Gallant, Daniel; Henttonen, Heikki; Ims, Rolf Anker; Killengreen, Siw Turid; Niemimaa, Jukka; Norén, Karin; Ollila, Tuomo; Rodnikova, Anna Y.; Sokolov, Aleksandr A.; Sokolova, Natasha A.; Stickney, Alice A.; Angerbjörn, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)
      Climate change can have a marked effect on the distribution and abundance of some species, as well as their interspecific interactions. In 1992, before ecological effects of anthropogenic climate change had developed into a topical research field, Hersteinsson and Macdonald published a seminal paper hypothesizing that the northern distribution limit of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is determined ...
