The main prey of the Arctic fox in the tundra are lemmings, which is why the white fox is often called the "lemming fox". The white fox's reproduction rates reflect the lemming population density, which cyclically fluctuates every 3–5 years.
The Westfjords are famous for their large Arctic Fox population. The density of Arctic Fox in some parts of Hornstrandir nature reserve (such as Hornvik) is the highest in the world. In addition, Látrabjarg cliffs in the south-west of the peninsula are the most important seabird nesting site in Iceland, and one of the most important in Europe.
Foxes in urban areas can live longer and can have smaller litter sizes than foxes in non-urban areas. [37] Urban foxes are ubiquitous in Europe, where they show altered behaviors compared to non-urban foxes, including increased population density, smaller territory, and pack foraging. [38]
As part of the state-sponsored program to restore Arctic foxes, Norway has been feeding the population for nearly 20 years, at an annual cost of around 3.1 million NOK (€275,000) and it has no ...
The animal was confirmed to be an Arctic fox that has likely been held in captivity all of its life, the wildlife nonprofit Bird Alliance of Oregon said in an Oct. 15 Facebook post.
The area around Umingmaktuuq is said to be rich in wildlife such as the Arctic fox, ... (38.59 sq mi), it had a population density of 0.0/km 2 (0.0/sq mi) in 2021. [4 ...
The length, color and density of the fur of fox species differ. Fennec foxes (and other desert-adapted fox species such as Vulpes macrotis) have large ears and a short coat to keep the body cool. [21] On the other hand, the Arctic fox has small ears and a thick, insulating coat to keep the body warm. [22]
Density-dependent polyphenism allows species to show a different phenotype based on the population density in which it was reared. In Lepidoptera, African armyworm larvae exhibit one of two appearances: the gregarious or solitary phase. Under crowded or "gregarious" conditions, the larvae have black bodies and yellow stripes along their bodies.
