Ecological and Evolutionary Determinants of Dental Polymorphism in the Arctic Fox Vulpes (Alopex) lagopus
- Environmental Science
- 2011
Differences in dental morphology among arctic fox populations appear to be largely explained by evolutionary history, presence or absence of competition with the red fox, and diet, with a lesser influence of geography and climate.

Age determination in the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus)
- Environmental Science, Medicine

In Alaska, as in arctic and subarctic Eurasia, important natural-focal zoonoses are rabies, brucellosis, tularemia, trichinosis, alveolar hydatid disease, cystic hydatids disease, and diphyllo-bothriasis, while some pathogens in northern regions exhibit biological characteristics that separate them from morphologically indistinguishable strains at lower latitudes.
