The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow play tricks, is a small-scale play a joke on native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere and common throughout the Arctic tundra biome.[i] [7] [8] It is well adapted to living in common cold environments, and is best known for its thick, warm fur that is also used every bit cover-up. It has a large and very fluffy tail. In the wild, about individuals do not live past their first year but some exceptional ones survive up to 11 years.[9] Its body length ranges from 46 to 68 cm (18 to 27 in), with a by and large rounded body shape to minimize the escape of trunk heat.

The Chill play tricks preys on many small-scale creatures such as lemmings, voles, ringed seal pups, fish, waterfowl, and seabirds. It also eats carrion, berries, seaweed, and insects and other small invertebrates. Arctic foxes course monogamous pairs during the breeding season and they stay together to raise their young in circuitous underground dens. Occasionally, other family members may assist in raising their young. Natural predators of the Arctic fox are gilded eagles,[x] Arctic wolves, polar bears,[xi] wolverines, crimson foxes, and grizzly bears.[12] [13]

Beliefs

Chill foxes must endure a temperature deviation of up to 90–100 °C (160–180 °F) between the external surroundings and their internal core temperature.[14] To prevent heat loss, the Arctic play a trick on curls up tightly tucking its legs and head nether its body and behind its furry tail. This position gives the play a joke on the smallest surface surface area to volume ratio and protects the least insulated areas. Arctic foxes also stay warm by getting out of the wind and residing in their dens.[15] [14] Although the Arctic foxes are agile yr-round and exercise not hibernate, they try to preserve fat by reducing their locomotor activity.[15] [16] They build upwards their fatty reserves in the fall, sometimes increasing their body weight by more than fifty%. This provides greater insulation during the winter and a source of energy when food is scarce.[17]

Reproduction

In the spring, the Arctic flim-flam's attention switches to reproduction and a abode for their potential offspring. They alive in big dens in frost-complimentary, slightly raised ground. These are complex systems of tunnels covering as much as one,000 yardii (i,200 sq yd) and are oftentimes in eskers, long ridges of sedimentary fabric deposited in formerly glaciated regions. These dens may be in being for many decades and are used by many generations of foxes.[17]

Pups of Arctic fox with summer morph

Arctic foxes tend to select dens that are easily attainable with many entrances, and that are clear from snow and water ice making it easier to burrow in. The Arctic fox builds and chooses dens that face due south towards the sun, which makes the den warmer. Chill foxes prefer big, maze-like dens for predator evasion and a quick escape especially when red foxes are in the area. Natal dens are typically found in rugged terrain, which may provide more protection for the pups. But, the parents volition also relocate litters to nearby dens to avert predators. When red foxes are non in the region, Arctic foxes will use dens that the red fob previously occupied. Shelter quality is more than important to the Arctic flim-flam than the proximity of spring prey to a den.[12]

The main prey in the tundra is lemmings, which is why the white play a trick on is oftentimes called the "lemming play tricks". The white play a joke on'due south reproduction rates reflect the lemming population density, which cyclically fluctuates every 3–5 years.[ix] [13] When lemmings are arable, the white play a joke on can requite birth to eighteen pups, but they often exercise not reproduce when food is deficient. The "coastal fox" or blue pull a fast one on lives in an surround where food availability is relatively consistent, and they will have up to 5 pups every year.[xiii]

Breeding usually takes place in April and May, and the gestation period is nearly 52 days. Litters may contain as many as 25 (the largest litter size in the order Carnivora).[18] The young emerge from the den when 3 to 4 weeks old and are weaned by nine weeks of age.[17]

Arctic foxes are primarily monogamous and both parents will intendance for the offspring. When predators and prey are abundant, Arctic foxes are more likely to exist promiscuous (exhibited in both males and females) and display more complex social structures. Larger packs of foxes consisting of convenance or non-breeding males or females tin guard a single territory more proficiently to increase pup survival. When resources are scarce, contest increases and the number of foxes in a territory decreases. On the coasts of Svalbard, the frequency of complex social structures is larger than inland foxes that remain monogamous due to food availability. In Scandinavia, there are more complex social structures compared to other populations due to the presence of the carmine fox. Also, conservationists are supplying the declining population with supplemental nutrient. One unique instance, however, is Iceland where monogamy is the most prevalent. The older offspring (ane-year-olds) often remain within their parent's territory even though predators are absent and there are fewer resources, which may indicate kin selection in the fox.[13]

Diet

Arctic foxes more often than not eat whatsoever small animal they tin observe, including lemmings, voles, other rodents, hares, birds, eggs, fish, and feces. They scavenge on carcasses left by larger predators such as wolves and polar bears, and in times of scarcity also consume their feces. In areas where they are present, lemmings are their most common prey,[17] and a family of foxes tin can eat dozens of lemmings each day. In some locations in northern Canada, a high seasonal affluence of migrating birds that breed in the area may provide an important food source. On the coast of Republic of iceland and other islands, their diet consists predominantly of birds. During April and May, the Arctic fox also preys on ringed seal pups when the young animals are confined to a snow den and are relatively helpless. They as well consume berries and seaweed, and then they may be considered omnivores.[19] This fox is a significant bird-egg predator, consuming eggs of all except the largest tundra bird species.[twenty] When food is overabundant, the Chill fox buries (caches) the surplus as a reserve.

Arctic foxes survive harsh winters and nutrient scarcity by either hoarding food or storing trunk fat. Fatty is deposited subcutaneously and viscerally in Arctic foxes. At the beginning of winter, the foxes have approximately 14740 kJ of energy storage from fat alone. Using the lowest BMR value measured in Chill foxes, an boilerplate sized play a joke on (3.5 kg (7.7 lb)) would demand 471 kJ/twenty-four hours during the wintertime to survive. Arctic foxes can acquire goose eggs (from greater snowfall geese in Canada) at a rate of 2.7–7.3 eggs/h, and they store eighty–97% of them. Scats provide evidence that they swallow the eggs during the winter afterwards caching. Isotope analysis shows that eggs tin can yet be eaten subsequently a year, and the metabolizable energy of a stored goose egg only decreases by 11% later 60 days (a fresh egg has about 816 kJ). Researchers have likewise noted that some eggs stored in the summertime are accessed afterward the following spring prior to reproduction.[21]

Adaptations

The Chill fox lives in some of the most frigid extremes on the planet, but they do non showtime to shiver until the temperature drops to −70 °C (−94 °F). Amid its adaptations for survival in the common cold is its dense, multilayered pelage, which provides excellent insulation.[22] [23] Additionally, the Arctic fox is the just canid whose foot pads are covered in fur. There are two genetically distinct coat color morphs: white and blue.[15] The white morph has seasonal cover-up, white in winter and dark-brown forth the back with light grey around the belly in summer. The blue morph is often a night blue, brown, or grey color year-round. Although the blue allele is dominant over the white allele, 99% of the Chill trick population is the white morph.[13] [9] Two similar mutations to MC1R crusade the bluish color and the lack of seasonal colour change.[24] The fur of the Chill fox provides the best insulation of any mammal.[25]

The fox has a depression surface surface area to volume ratio, every bit evidenced by its generally meaty body shape, short muzzle and legs, and short, thick ears. Since less of its surface expanse is exposed to the Arctic cold, less heat escapes from its body.[26]

Sensory modalities

The Arctic fox has a functional hearing range between 125 Hz–xvi kHz with a sensitivity that is ≤ 60 dB in air, and an boilerplate peak sensitivity of 24 dB at 4 kHz. Overall, the Arctic foxes hearing is less sensitive than the dog and the kit play tricks. The Arctic trick and the kit fox take a low upper-frequency limit compared to the domestic dog and other carnivores.[27] The Arctic fox can easily hear lemmings burrowing under 4-5 inches of snow.[28] When it has located its prey, information technology pounces and punches through the snow to grab its prey.[26]

The Arctic fox as well has a nifty sense of smell. They can scent carcasses that are often left by polar bears anywhere from 10 to forty km. Information technology is possible that they use their sense of smell to also track downward polar bears. Additionally, Arctic foxes can smell and detect frozen lemmings under 46–77 cm of snowfall, and can observe a subnivean seal lair under 150 cm of snow.[29]

Physiology

The Arctic fox contains advantageous genes to overcome extreme cold and starvation periods. Transcriptome sequencing has identified two genes that are nether positive selection: Glycolipid transfer protein domain containing 1 (GLTPD1) and V-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog two (AKT2). GLTPD1 is involved in the fatty acid metabolism, while AKT2 pertains to the glucose metabolism and insulin signaling.[30]

The average mass specific BMR and total BMR are 37% and 27% lower in the wintertime than the summertime. The Chill flim-flam decreases its BMR via metabolic depression in the winter to conserve fat storage and minimize free energy requirements. Co-ordinate to the most contempo data, the lower critical temperature of the Chill fox is at −7 °C in the winter and five °C in the summertime. It was usually believed that the Arctic trick had a lower critical temperature below −40 °C. Withal, some scientists have ended that this stat is not accurate since it was never tested using the proper equipment.[xiv]

About 22% of the full body surface area of the Arctic fox dissipates heat readily compared to red foxes at 33%. The regions that have the greatest heat loss are the nose, ears, legs, and feet, which is useful in the summer for thermal heat regulation. Likewise, the Arctic fox has a beneficial mechanism in their nose for evaporative cooling like dogs, which keeps the brain cool during the summer and exercise.[16] The thermal conductivity of Arctic fox fur in the summer and winter is the same; however, the thermal conductance of the Arctic fox in the winter is lower than the summertime since fur thickness increases past 140%. In the summer, the thermal conductance of the Chill foxes body is 114% higher than the winter, but their body core temperature is constant year-round.

One manner that Arctic foxes regulate their trunk temperature is past utilizing a countercurrent oestrus exchange in the blood of their legs.[14] Chill foxes can constantly keep their feet above the tissue freezing point (−1 °C) when continuing on cold substrates without losing mobility or feeling pain. They exercise this by increasing vasodilation and blood menses to a capillary rete in the pad surface, which is in direct contact with the snow rather than the entire pes. They selectively vasoconstrict blood vessels in the centre of the foot pad, which conserves energy and minimizes heat loss.[sixteen] [31] Arctic foxes maintain the temperature in their paws independently from the cadre temperature. If the core temperature drops, the pad of the foot will remain constantly above the tissue freezing betoken.[31]

Size

The average caput-and-body length of the male is 55 cm (22 in), with a range of 46 to 68 cm (eighteen to 27 in), while the female averages 52 cm (20 in) with a range of 41 to 55 cm (sixteen to 22 in).[22] [32] In some regions, no difference in size is seen between males and females. The tail is near 30 cm (12 in) long in both sexes. The height at the shoulder is 25 to 30 cm (9.eight to eleven.eight in).[33] On boilerplate males weigh 3.5 kg (7.vii lb), with a range of iii.2 to 9.4 kg (vii.1 to xx.7 lb), while females boilerplate 2.9 kg (6.four lb), with a range of 1.4 to three.2 kg (iii.i to 7.1 lb).[22]

Taxonomy

Vulpes lagopus is a 'truthful flim-flam' belonging to the genus Vulpes of the fox tribe Vulpini, which consists of 12 extant species.[xxx] It is classified under the subfamily Caninae of the canid family Canidae. Although it has previously been assigned to its own monotypic genus Alopex, recent genetic evidence now places it in the genus Vulpes along with the bulk of other foxes.[7] [34]

It was originally described past Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of Systema Naturae in 1758 as Canis lagopus. The type specimen was recovered from Lapland, Sweden. The generic proper name vulpes is Latin for "fox".[37] The specific name lagopus is derived from Aboriginal Greek λαγώς (lagōs, "hare") and πούς (pous, "human foot"), referring to the pilus on its feet similar to those found in cold-climate species of hares.[36]

Looking at the most contempo phylogeny, the Arctic play tricks and the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) diverged approximately 3.17MYA. Additionally, the Arctic fox diverged from its sister grouping, the kit fox (Vulpes macrotis), at about 0.9MYA.[xxx]

Origins

The origins of the Arctic fox take been described by the "out of Tibet" hypothesis. On the Tibetan Plateau, fossils of the extinct ancestral Arctic fob (Vulpes qiuzhudingi) from the early Pliocene (5.08–3.six MYA) were found along with many other precursors of modern mammals that evolved during the Pliocene (5.3–two.6 MYA). It is believed that this ancient flim-flam is the ancestor of the mod Arctic play tricks. Globally, the Pliocene was about ii–3 °C warmer than today, and the Arctic during the summer in the mid-Pliocene was 8 °C warmer. By using stable carbon and oxygen isotope analysis of fossils, researchers claim that the Tibetan Plateau experienced tundra-similar weather condition during the Pliocene and harbored cold-adapted mammals that later on spread to Northward America and Eurasia during the Pleistocene Epoch (ii.six million-eleven,700 years agone).[38]

  • Republic of iceland Chill flim-flam, 5. l. fuliginosus
  • Pribilof Islands Arctic fox, 5. fifty. pribilofensis

Distribution and habitat

The Arctic play a joke on'south seasonal furs, summer (top), "blueish" (eye), and wintertime (bottom)

The Arctic play tricks has a circumpolar distribution and occurs in Arctic tundra habitats in northern Europe, northern Asia, and North America. Its range includes Greenland, Iceland, Fennoscandia, Svalbard, Jan Mayen (where it was hunted to extinction)[39] and other islands in the Barents Ocean, northern Russia, islands in the Bering Ocean, Alaska, and Canada as far southward as Hudson Bay. In the late 19th century, it was introduced into the Aleutian Islands southwest of Alaska. Nevertheless, the population on the Aleutian Islands is currently being eradicated in conservation efforts to preserve the local bird population.[1] It mostly inhabits tundra and pack ice, but is also present in Canadian boreal forests (northeastern Alberta, northern Saskatchewan, northern Manitoba, Northern Ontario, Northern Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador)[40] and the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. They are constitute at elevations up to 3,000 k (9,800 ft) above sea level and take been seen on bounding main ice shut to the North Pole.[41]

The Chill flim-flam is the simply land mammal native to Iceland.[42] It came to the isolated N Atlantic island at the stop of the last ice historic period, walking over the frozen ocean. The Arctic Fox Center in Súðavík contains an exhibition on the Chill trick and conducts studies on the influence of tourism on the population.[43] Its range during the final ice age was much more than extensive than it is now, and fossil remains of the Arctic fox accept been found over much of northern Europe and Siberia.[one]

The color of the fox'south coat too determines where they are most likely to exist found. The white morph mainly lives inland and blends in with the snowy tundra, while the blue morph occupies the coasts because its night color blends in with the cliffs and rocks.[ix]

Migrations and travel

During the winter, 95.5% of Arctic foxes utilize commuting trips, which remain within the fox'due south home range. Commuting trips in Arctic foxes last less than 3 days and occur between 0–2.nine times a month. Nomadism is found in three.4% of the foxes, and loop migrations (where the fob travels to a new range, then returns to its home range) are the least mutual at i.ane%. Arctic foxes in Canada that undergo nomadism and migrations voyage from the Canadian archipelago to Greenland and northwestern Canada. The duration and distance traveled between males and females is not significantly different.

Arctic foxes closer to goose colonies (located at the coasts) are less likely to migrate. Meanwhile, foxes experiencing depression-density lemming populations are more likely to make body of water ice trips. Residency is mutual in the Chill pull a fast one on population so that they can maintain their territories. Migratory foxes accept a mortality rate >3 times higher than resident foxes. Nomadic behavior becomes more than common as the foxes age.[44]

In July 2019, the Norwegian Polar Institute reported the story of a yearling female which was fitted with a GPS tracking device so released past their researchers on the east coast of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard group of islands.[45] The young fox crossed the polar ice from the islands to Greenland in 21 days, a distance of ane,512 kilometres (940 mi). She then moved on to Ellesmere Island in northern Canada, covering a total recorded distance of 3,506 kilometres (2,179 mi) in 76 days, before her GPS tracker stopped working. She averaged just over 46 kilometres (29 mi) a mean solar day, and managed as much as 155 kilometres (96 mi) in a single day.[46]

Conservation status

The Arctic fox has been assessed as least concern on the IUCN Scarlet Listing since 2004.[i] However, the Scandinavian mainland population is acutely endangered, despite being legally protected from hunting and persecution for several decades. The judge of the adult population in all of Norway, Sweden, and Finland is fewer than 200 individuals.[17] As a result, the populations of Arctic fox accept been advisedly studied and inventoried in places such as the Vindelfjällens Nature Reserve (Sweden), which has the Arctic play a trick on as its symbol.

The abundance of the Arctic trick tends to fluctuate in a cycle forth with the population of lemmings and voles (a iii- to 4-yr cycle).[20] The populations are particularly vulnerable during the years when the prey population crashes, and uncontrolled trapping has almost eradicated two subpopulations.[17]

The pelts of Arctic foxes with a slate-blue coloration were especially valuable. They were transported to various previously fox-free Aleutian Islands during the 1920s. The program was successful in terms of increasing the population of bluish foxes, but their predation of Aleutian Canada geese conflicted with the goal of preserving that species.[47]

The Arctic fox is losing ground to the larger red flim-flam. This has been attributed to climatic change—the camouflage value of its lighter coat decreases with less snow cover.[48] Red foxes dominate where their ranges begin to overlap by killing Arctic foxes and their kits.[49] An alternative explanation of the ruby-red pull a fast one on'south gains involves the greyness wolf. Historically, information technology has kept carmine fox numbers down, only as the wolf has been hunted to near extinction in much of its former range, the red fox population has grown larger, and it has taken over the niche of summit predator.[ commendation needed ] In areas of northern Europe, programs are in place that allow the hunting of cerise foxes in the Chill fox'southward previous range.

Equally with many other game species, the best sources of historical and large-scale population data are hunting bag records and questionnaires. Several potential sources of error occur in such data collections.[l] In addition, numbers vary widely betwixt years due to the large population fluctuations. However, the total population of the Chill play a trick on must be in the order of several hundred thousand animals.[51]

The earth population of Arctic foxes is thus not endangered, but two Arctic fox subpopulations are. I is on Medny Island (Commander Islands, Russia), which was reduced past some 85–90%, to effectually 90 animals, as a event of mange caused by an ear tick introduced by dogs in the 1970s.[52] The population is currently under handling with antiparasitic drugs, but the result is still uncertain.

The other threatened population is the 1 in Fennoscandia (Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Kola Peninsula). This population decreased drastically around the start of the 20th century as a effect of extreme fur prices, which caused astringent hunting also during population lows.[53] The population has remained at a low density for more than than 90 years, with additional reductions during the final decade.[54] The total population judge for 1997 is around threescore adults in Sweden, 11 adults in Finland, and fifty in Norway. From Kola, there are indications of a similar state of affairs, suggesting a population of around twenty adults. The Fennoscandian population thus numbers around 140 convenance adults. Even after local lemming peaks, the Chill fox population tends to collapse dorsum to levels dangerously close to nonviability.[51]

The Arctic flim-flam is classed as a "prohibited new organism" under New Zealand'south Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, preventing it from being imported into the country.[55]
