		The project analysed the use of fur seal rookeries by arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) and assessed the conservation of relict Alopex populations on Mednyi and Bering Islands, in the Commander Islands, North Pacific.
		On Mednyi, foxes were concentrated around the South-east Rookery, but this was not due to use of the rookery as a food source.
		The team concluded that fox densities on Mednyi were low away from the well-visited south-east area; that the introduction of dogs to Mednyi should be carefully controlled; and that more stringent protection should be afforded to the south-east of Mednyi, which lies in the reserve buffer zone.
