Dicrostonyx groenlandicus
30 June Coal Mine - Meade River
Two adult males were caught
today on T1 in tussock-lichen-
dwarf shrub complex. This is our
first contact with this species here
this year.
July
A subadult or young adult Dicrostonyx was caught
on T3 today.
8 July
Uniat, Alaska - one adult caught on T3
today.
Harold Griffin reported that on an
overland trip from Uniat toward
Chawell Lake he saw many
lemmings running away from the
moose on the long flat-topped
ridges along the west side of the Chawell.
He did not know what species, but
the habitat sounds typical of Dicrostonyx
rather than Lemmus. Also he saw
about 10 ptarmigans in this area. The
ridge traversed was about 20 miles
long. The lemmings were common enough
to catch the attention of several people
in the moose off and on clearing the
day. This was on 15 June.
1 September Barrow - an old nest with the fine feet
of varying lemming was found in the area
where Schulte's sample plots are located.
