- Abstract:
-
This data set describes the winter ecology of Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus; TSN 622025) in the Ardalin oil field (latitude north 67.59723 longitude east 57.25381), Nenets Autonomous okrug, Arctic Russia. The surrounding habitat is Arctic tundra and located above the Arctic circle. This data set includes some associated photos, videos. The Excel sheet includes data with the following worksheets: food items, timetable, den database, AF presence, den presence, narrative, opportunistic sightings, opportunistic species list,predators, confirmed absence, den disturbance, escape distances, temperature measurements, and explanation. We used GPS to collect all data (decimal degrees latitude longitude, wgs84). The biggest work sheet consist of 109 rows. The Excel sheet has an overall size of 220 KB. Other species covered in this data set are: Potential Red fox (Vulpes vulpes, TSN 180604), Willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus, TSN 175804), Mountain hare (Lepus timidus, TSN 180113). Please see also other data sets by the authors on Arctic fox.
