BIOTIC
CONDITIONS

| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
low

|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Arctic Foxes were not recorded. Wader density was low in late July, but this is likely to be typical for the area. Predation was low, or moderate. Buzzards were breeding at a low density and had small clutches. Among skuas only Long-tailed was found breeding with low numbers. Territorial pairs of Pacific Golden Plover and Grey-rumped Tattler were observed, and nests of Turnstone and Curlew Sandpiper found nearly 100 km from a seacoast.

|
Rodent dynamics:
|
| Both lemming species in early June were rare near Saskylakh, and met only on watersheds. However, numerous winter nests and other tracks were found.
