I estimated the non-trophic effects of arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) denning activities on soil nutrient dynamics, vegetation production and quality, snow cover thickness, and their primary terrestrial prey, collared lemmings (Dicrostonyx richardsoni), near Churchill, Manitoba in April, June and August 2014. Arctic foxes increased soil inorganic nitrogen and extractable phosphorous concentration on their dens. This increase in soil nutrient levels resulted in greater vegetation quantity (measured as biomass and cover) and quality (measured as nitrogen content) on dens. Increased vegetation cover, specifically Salix sp. and Leymus mollis cover, positively affected snow cover thickness on dens by trapping blowing snow. Increased snow cover thickness made dens attractive nesting sites to collared lemmings (measured as lemming nest counts). In addition, dens with lemming nests had greater snow cover thickness compared to dens without lemming nests. Greater vegetation quantity and quality on dens could also attract lemmings to dens for winter nesting. / February 2016

There is an intertextual web unique to Andean culture that goes beyond references to literary texts. This dissertation analyzes an alternative text, Andean textiles, two intimately related textual practices: Andean cosmology and story telling variants, and two written texts: the XVI century quechua manuscript Gods and Men from Huarochirí and José María Arguedas’ last novel The Fox from Up Above and the Fox from Down Below. In this analysis, I place the oral trace of the fox character, shared by the textualities consulted, at the center of an intertextual web that gives us an Andean perspective on the concept of cultural encounter. Through the reconstruction of this intertextual web that shares the common ground of orality, it can be said that the fox character is capable of traversing opposite spaces and inhabiting areas of contact, and we find that all of the textualities where he is to be found share the recurring tropes of origin, immigration and mestizaje. As a central conclusion of my study in regards to the relationship between textuality and identity, I propose that the way in which the fox has been textualized expresses with an admirable constancy the dilemma of a subject that transits and therefore belongs to two different worlds: condemned to lose yet destined to survive. This dissertation intends to lead to a new perspective on two literary classics, to open up space for other kinds of textualities and textual practices, to redefine the theory of intertextuality paying attention to the text and context dynamic and most importantly to stress the influence of textuality in identity formation. This dissertation is written in Spanish.
