The Arctic is home to animals that have taken adaptations to overwintering to extremes. In this dissertation, I have investigated one of these adaptations, hibernation, in two species from the Arctic, the Alaska marmot () and the arctic ground squirrel (). The expression of hibernation under ...

1. We examined the eects of food and predators on population limitation in the arctic ground squirrel (Spermophilus parryii plesius Richardson) in the boreal forest of the south-western Yukon. We focused on ground squirrel reproduction and overwinter survival.2. Squirrel populations were monitore...
Individual samples were also identified as a lynx (Lynx lynx) and a rodent related to the Durian ground squirrel (Spermophilus dauricus). Concatenated reference panel alignment and the FastQ Screen analyses both showed the greatest proportion of reads aligned to the Ursus genus for one specimen, ...
Any incipient hibernation, shown for instance by the arctic ground squirrel, proves abortive, as the animals will shiver themselves awake after only a few days. Most of the birds of the Arctic Zone are migrants, coming from wintering grounds as far away as the southern United States, Central...
Physical Characteristics and Adaptations Table of Contents Go Up One of the most iconic Arctic animals, the polar bear, is well-known for its stark white coat which provides excellent camouflage against the snow and ice. This polar bear information highlights just one of the many physical char...

(e.g., reindeer, arctic fox, marmot, souslik ground squirrel, and lemming) were able to persist in the severe conditions of present-day tundra as a result, in some cases, of their capacity for long migrations and, in others, of physiological adaptations that enabled them to cope with ...
