• An Ongoing Shift in Mammalian Nest Predators of Yellow-billed Loons in Arctic Alaska

  Open Access•Julie P Parrett, Alexander K Prichard et al.•ARTICLE•ARCTIC•2023

  Incluir item

  The Coastal Plain of northern Alaska is an important nesting area for a variety of avian species, where the productivity of ground-nesting species can be strongly influenced by nest predators. Recently, the density of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) has increased in many areas of the Arctic, likely because of climate warming as well as the availability of anthropogenic food sources during winter. In areas where they occur sympatrically, red foxes can o…

• The Effect of Traffic Levels on the Distribution and Behaviour of Calving Caribou in an Arctic Oilfield

  Open Access•Alexander K Prichard, Joseph H Welch et al.•ARTICLE•ARCTIC•2022

  Caribou are the most abundant large terrestrial mammals in Arctic Alaska, providing important cultural and subsistence resource values for local communities. As oil and gas development expands across the Arctic Coastal Plain of northern Alaska, understanding the potential impacts on caribou and improving associated mitigation measures are a crucial focus of applied research. One consistently observed impact in northern Alaska is displacement of m…

• Distributional Limits of Bats in Alaska

  Open Access•Doreen I Parker, Brian E Lawhead et al.•ARTICLE•ARCTIC•1997

  Bats in temperate regions are relatively well studied, yet little research has focused on the northern limit of their distribution. We document the northwestern extent of bats in North America using museum holdings, literature records, and field research in Alaska. Six bat species are confirmed from Alaska: Myotis lucifugus, M. keenii, M. californicus, M. volans, Lasionycteris noctivagans, and Eptesicus fuscus. M. lucifugus occurs throughout much…
