Abstract
Arctic fox populations fluctuate widely with the abundance of prey, i.e. lemmings and voles (Arvicolinae). We have investigated the patterns and mechanisms of these fluctuations in arctic fox numbe ...

A conceptual model is evaluated on functional and numerical response to short-term fluctuating vole populations of a red fox population in south-central Sweden that predicts food availability as the primary factor for limiting fox numbers, causing reduced rates of reproduction and survival during years of low vole densities.

The population of arctic foxes in Fennoscandia is very small and has been so for around 60 years in spite of total protection for over half a century.

The Arctic foxes were found to occupy well defined, but fairly flexible group territories, whose borders were advertised by olfactory, auditory and visual signals, and there was an indication that territories were larger in inland habitats.

In the present study, scar counts overestimated numbers of persisting corpora lutea to a higher degree in old vixens than in yearlings; and scars were shown to fade over winter.
