Genomic Consequences of Fragmentation in the Endangered Fennoscandian Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus)

Genes, 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 distribution, it struggled to recover from a demographic bottleneck in the late 19th century.

Low levels of genetic differentiation and structure in red fox populations in Eastern Canada and implications for Arctic fox rabies propagation potential.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Rabies is a lethal zoonosis present in most parts of the world which can be transmitted to humans through the bite from an infected mammalian reservoir host.

Decline of the boreal willow grouse (Lagopus lagopus) has been accelerated by more frequent snow-free springs [PDF]

, 2020
Climate change has influenced a range of species across the globe. Yet, to state a noted decline in the abundance of a given species as a consequence of a specific environmental change, for instance, spatially explicit long-term data are a prerequisite.

Mammal fauna during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene in the far northeast of Europe [PDF]

, 2013
The paper summarises materials on the mammal remains in northeastern Europe, dated by radiocarbon. Altogether, 23 local faunas of small mammals and 47 local faunas of large mammals were analysed.

Faecal Cortisol Metabolites as an Indicator of Adrenocortical Activity in Farmed Blue Foxes

Animals, 2021
Welfare studies of blue foxes would benefit from a measurement of faecal cortisol metabolites (FCMs) as a non-invasive, physiological stress parameter reflecting hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activity.

Low vulnerability of Arctic fox dens to climate change-related geohazards on Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada

Arctic Science, 2021
Climate change increases the risk of severe alterations to essential wildlife habitats. The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus (Linnaeus, 1758)) uses dens as shelters against cold temperatures and predators.

Molecular evolution of the leptin exon 3 in some species of the family Canidae

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2003
The structure of the leptin gene seems to be well conserved. The polymorphism of this gene in four species belonging to the Canidae family (the dog (Canis familiaris) – 16 different breeds, the Chinese racoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides ...

Interspecific killing among mammalian carnivores [PDF]

, 1999
Interspecific killing among mammalian carnivores is common in nature and accounts for up to 68% of known mortalities in some species. Interactions may be symmetrical (both species kill each other) or asymmetrical (one species kills the other), and ...

Declined expressing mRNA of beta-defensin 108 from epididymis is associated with decreased sperm motility in blue fox (Vulpes lagopus)

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.

COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF MESENTERIAL LYMPH NODES IN VULPES LAGOPUS

Scientific Notes Kazan Bauman State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, 2021
Lymph nodes are an active biological filters in which pathogens are retained and phagocy-tosed. Lymph nodules are dynamic structures of the lymph nodes. They form and disappear depend-ing on the presence of stress factors of various natures. The article presents the parameters of mes-enteric lymph nodes of carnivores in comparison with regional lymph ...
