“…This study suggests that the difficulty in reaching juvenile foxes in baiting campaigns is likely to be due to their reduced ranging behaviour and the concentration of their activity at secure sites, behaviour which appears to be typical of the canids. Studies on wolves Canis lupus (van Ballenberghe et al 1975), red foxes (Storm et al 1976), arctic foxes Alopex lagopus (Eberhardt et al 1983) and coyotes Canis .atrans (Harrison et al 1991) all found that cubs were initially reared at secure underground sites, the litter sometimes being split between two or more such dens, ard that early movements were concentrated around these sites.…”

“…Research on foxes in Arctic Alaska has focused primarily on Arctic foxes in relation to oilfield development (Eberhardt, 1977;Fine, 1980;Garrott, 1980;Eberhardt et al, 1982Eberhardt et al, , 1983Garrott et al, 1984;Ballard et al, 2000;Pamperin et al, 2006). While Eberhardt (1977) included both species in his research on the biology of foxes on the North Slope of the Brooks Range, red foxes were confined almost entirely to the foothills at that time, and he reported only one record of a red fox seen on the Arctic Coastal Plain.…”

“…Eberhardt et al (1983) found the density of arctic fox dens in the Prudhoe Bay oil-field area to be about three times that in the undeveloped Colville River delta west of the oil fields. The oil-field fox population also was more dense and underwent less dramatic fluctuations than that in the Colville delta (Eberhardt et al, 1982).…”
