We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe
ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).

Low breeding propensity in a declining Arctic‐breeding swan revealed by telemetry data
Many migratory bird populations are declining in the face of habitat degradation and climate change, making it important to identify which stages of their annual cycle are most affected in order to guide conservation measures. The Bewick's Swan Cygnus columbianus bewickii, an Arctic‐breeding waterfowl species, has suffered a dramatic population decline

Fox dietary ecology as a tracer of human impact on Pleistocene ecosystems.
Nowadays, opportunistic small predators, such as foxes (Vulpes vulpes and Vulpes lagopus), are well known to be very adaptable to human modified ecosystems. However, the timing of the start of this phenomenon in terms of human impact on ecosystems and of

Occurrence and distribution of sarcoptic mange in wild Neotropical canids
Sarcoptic mange affects most Neotropical canid species across multiple countries. It represents a widespread yet largely overlooked conservation threat with potential for cross‐species transmission. Coordinated monitoring and management efforts are needed to understand and mitigate its impacts. Abstract Sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease caused

Nutrient digestibility in Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) fed diets containing animal meals
Three digestibility experiments on Arctic foxes were carried out. Control groups were fed standard diets (C1 and C2) composed of fresh or frozen animal by-products and steamed ground grain.

ABSTRACT A 1‐year‐old female‐intact arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) presented for diarrhea, lethargy, severe thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Blood film evaluation revealed intracytoplasmic coccoid bacteria within moderate numbers of leukocytes consistent with infection by a rickettsial organism.
