Fox Friday surprise: An arctic fox turned up near Trondheim harbour, far the tundra habitat. Ear tags showed she was marked by us and WWF as a cub last summer in Helags, Sweden. Usually movements by foxes help connect fragmented populations and maintain genetic exchange across Scandinavia.

After last year’s relatively good numbers, arctic fox reproduction in Sweden decreased in 2025. Some areas had a fairly good year, others not. Low prey availability likely influenced this pattern. For more information read the full Fennoscandian report (hdl.handle.net/11250/5333907).

New study on arctic fox genomics shows strong effects of fur farming: reduced diversity, inbreeding, and coastal origins linked to Icelandic foxes. A reminder that domestication leaves deep genetic footprints. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/mec.70166

The 2025 arctic fox field season is underway! Our first teams are heading into the mountains to monitor dens and support conservation efforts. Here's to a safe and successful summer in the field! #arcticfoxproject #fjällräv #fieldseason2025 #conservation #wildlifework #fjällrävsprojektet #arcticfox

Fox Friday and the final three days to apply for this summer's volunteer fieldwork! If you’re interested, head over to the fieldwork site (www.su.se/english/rese...) to learn more and submit your application. It’s one of the most rewarding, yet also most demanding, ways to support the arctic fox!
