“…During night, they were instead less present at the den, possibly due to more intensive night time foraging to compensate for lost hunting opportunities at daytime (Larm, ). Similar results were found in Svalbard, where arctic foxes in areas with snow mobile traffic fed less from provided reindeer carcasses during the day and more during the night (Fuglei et al , ). In this study, tourism activity did not seem to increase the risk of juvenile starvation.…”

“…This is consistent with the hypothesis that time would influence the use of feeding stations by arctic foxes. The nocturnal activity peak is likely linked to predator avoidance; the arctic fox is described as less nocturnal in regions like Svalbard where it is not exposed to other mesocarnivore competitors (Fuglei et al 2017).…”

“…In Svalbard, many tourists travel using snowmobiles. Fuglei et al (2017) showed that snowmobile traffic impacted the diurnal activity of Arctic foxes. This could influence what prey Arctic foxes feed on, and thereby also their management.…”
