MRF is considering a research program that would target several
Arctic predators in an attempt to learn more about their potentially
nomadic movements and their population dynamics. A comparative
study including at least three or four species would be the preferred
approach.
Snowy Owl, Gyrfalcon, Rough-legged Hawk, and Arctic
Fox are the most likely candidates for research. The focus would be on
investigating the relationships between between their movements, toxicological
contamination, and reproductive success. Further details on the project will be
posted if it develops; we are interested in
hearing from other researchers considering similar research
programs, who may be interested in collaborating on such work.
