  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;A long-existing system of wolves (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Canis lupus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;), muskoxen (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ovibos&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;moschatus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;), and arctic hares (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lepus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;arcticus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) in a 2600 km2 area of Canada’s High Arctic (80° N latitude) began collapsing in 1997 because of unusual adverse summer weather but recovered to a level at which all three species were reproducing by 2004. Recovery of wolf presence and reproduction appeared to be more dependent on muskox increase than on hare increase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
