Abstract
Arctic (Vulpes lagopus) and red (Vulpes vulpes) foxes are viewed as ecological equivalents and thus direct competitors for food and shelter. Red fox dominates in physical interactions with the smaller arctic fox, but little is known about competition between them on the tundra. This study tests the hypothesis that red fox displaces arctic fox from dens in prey-rich habitats on Hershel Island, north Yukon.
