Contents Notes |
This report describes the introduction of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus), starting in 1750, to the Alaskan islands in the North Pacific and the effect on bird populations. Aleutian Canada geese (Branta canadensis leucopareia) were eliminated from all but two islands. Since 1949 foxes have been eliminated and bird populations have recovered. |
