Foxes in Retrospect—Unraveling Human-Fox Relationships through Fox Tooth Ornaments in the Swabian Jura

Quaternary, 2023
Personal ornaments play an important role in our understanding of human cultural and behavioral change during the Upper Paleolithic, providing insights into intangible aspects of human cultural behavior. Some ornament forms are better studied than others,

Beyond Domestication: Occurrence of Levator Anguli Oculi Medialis and Retractor Anguli Oculi Lateralis in Four Neotropical Canid Species

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The facial mimetic muscles levator anguli oculi medialis (LAOM) and retractor anguli oculi lateralis (RAOL) have been associated with expressive eye movements in canids and proposed as products of domestication. We investigated their occurrence in four Neotropical species (Lycalopex gymnocercus, Lycalopex vetulus, Cerdocyon thous and ...

Assessing the Ecological Network of Svalbard Through Scaled Interaction Strength Data: Insights From a Century of Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this work, we integrate existing knowledge on interaction strengths into a conceptual model of the Svalbard Ecological Network. We also highlight current knowledge gaps and challenges in establishing a robust baseline of species interactions in the region.

Components of population growth for Arctic foxes at a large Arctic goose colony: the relative contributions of adult survival and recruitment

Polar Research, 2017
The abundance and distribution of animals often vary dramatically among years in Arctic environments. Such variation, in turn, is closely related to changes in food abundance and its effect on vital rates such as survival and recruitment.

MODIFICATION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS IN SILVER FOXES AND ARCTIC FOXES DURING LATE POSTNATAL ONTOGENY

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2016
The study aimed to determine the white blood cell (WBC) count and differential, the activity of digestive enzymes and the tissue level of some antioxidants in two Canidae species, which are closely related but differ in ecological characteristics, silver
