Genetic rescue in an inbred Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2018
Isolation of small populations can reduce fitness through inbreeding depression and impede population growth. Outcrossing with only a few unrelated individuals can increase demographic and genetic viability substantially, but few studies have documented such genetic rescue in natural mammal populations.

Fine-scale population genetic structure of arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) in the High Arctic [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Objective The arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) is a circumpolar species inhabiting all accessible Arctic tundra habitats. The species forms a panmictic population over areas connected by sea ice, but recently, kin clustering and population differentiation ...

First report of Cryptosporidium canis in farmed Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) in China. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2016
كريبتوسبوريديوم هو جنس مهم من الطفيليات الحيوانية المعوية، والتي يمكن أن تصيب مجموعة واسعة من الحيوانات بما في ذلك الثعالب. لا يتوفر سوى القليل من المعلومات المتعلقة بانتشار أنواع الكريبتوسبوريديوم وتوصيفها الجزيئي في ثعالب القطب الشمالي المستزرعة (فولبيس لاجوبوس) في الصين. وبالتالي، كان الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو التحقيق في انتشار أنواع الكريبتوسبوريديوم

Identification and genetic characterization of Sarcocystis arctica and Sarcocystis lutrae in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Baltic States and Spain

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Typically, carnivores serve as definitive hosts for Sarcocystis spp. parasites; currently, their role as intermediate hosts is being elucidated.

Temporal genomic change in the Scandinavian Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus)

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society
Abstract Demographic declines have important consequences for population viability, since they can lead to losses in genome diversity, as well as increased inbreeding and expression of deleterious mutations. Scandinavia was colonized by the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) at the Pleistocene/Holocene transition, and the population has since ...

Broad Range Screening of Vector-Borne Pathogens in Arctic Foxes (Vulpes lagopus) in Iceland. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2020
The arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) is the only native terrestrial mammal in Iceland. While red foxes (V. vulpes) are known to be epidemiologically important carriers of several vector-borne pathogens in Europe, arctic foxes have never been evaluated in a ...

Comparative transcriptomics of high-altitude Vulpes and their low-altitude relatives

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The harsh environment of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) imposes strong selective stresses (e.g., hypoxia, high UV-radiation, and extreme temperature) to the native species, which have driven striking phenotypic and genetic adaptations.
