Molecular Identification and Antibacterial Activity Analysis of Blue Fox (Vulpes lagopus) β-Defensins 108 and 122 [PDF]
Animals, 2021 The blue fox (Vulpes lagopus), a fur-bearing animal, is an important component of the breeding industry in China. Semen quality is a key factor for the reproductive process and the breeding effectiveness of the farmed blue fox.

Genomic Consequences of Fragmentation in the Endangered Fennoscandian Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus). [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2022 Accelerating climate change is causing severe habitat fragmentation in the Arctic, threatening the persistence of many cold-adapted species. The Scandinavian arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) is highly fragmented, with a once continuous, circumpolar ...

Declined expressing mRNA of beta-defensin 108 from epididymis is associated with decreased sperm motility in blue fox (Vulpes lagopus) [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2021 Background Fecundity is important for farm blue fox (Vulpes lagopus), who with asthenospermia have be a problem in some of farms in China. A key symptom of asthenospermia is decreased sperm motility.

Low Persistence of Genetic Rescue Across Generations in the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus). [PDF]
J Hered, 2021 Genetic rescue can facilitate the recovery of small and isolated populations suffering from inbreeding depression. Long-term effects are however complex, and examples spanning over multiple generations under natural conditions are scarce. The aim of this

Long-term satellite tracking reveals patterns of long-distance dispersal in juvenile and adult Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus). [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2023 Long-distance dispersal plays a key role in species distribution and persistence. However, its movement metrics and ecological implications may differ whether it is undertaken by juveniles (natal dispersal) or adults (breeding dispersal). We investigated

Tularemia above the Treeline: Climate and Rodent Abundance Influences Exposure of a Sentinel Species, the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus), to Francisella tularensis. [PDF]
Pathogens, 2022 Tularemia is a zoonotic disease found throughout most of the northern hemisphere that may experience range expansion with warming temperatures. Rodents and lagomorphs are reservoirs for the disease, and outbreaks of tularemia often follow peaks in their ...

That's So Last Season: Unraveling the Genomic Consequences of Fur Farming in Arctic Foxes (Vulpes lagopus). [PDF]
Mol EcolHumans have relied on animal fur for centuries, yet fur farming only began recently during the mid‐19th Century. Little is known about this incipient domestication or the genomic processes involved.

Ecosystem engineering of tundra heath by Arctic fox (<i>Vulpes lagopus</i>) is driven by nutrient additions. [PDF]
Ecol ProcessSoil nutrient availability is a limiting factor for tundra productivity. Therefore, consumer-driven alteration of nutrient availability can have a large effect on tundra communities.
