Segmental composition and nerve distribution of the brachial plexus in Galictis cuja

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Galictis cuja is a neotropical mustelid with terrestrial locomotor habits, yet the anatomy of its brachial plexus has remained undescribed. This study characterizes the origin, organization, and distribution of the brachial plexus nerves in 15 adult specimens (30 antimeres).

Fascicle measurement methods do result in lengths that are significantly different

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A recent comparison of the most prevalent methods for measuring fascicles, in situ measurement versus chemical digestion, concluded that the measurements are indistinguishable based on data from different conspecific individuals. However, our study of contralateral muscles of the same individuals shows that the methods clearly result in statistically ...

Updates on the Neoserica vulpes group (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae, Sericini): new species and records

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023
Here, I describe four new species of the Neoserica vulpes species group: Neoserica daxue sp. nov., N. mianningana sp. nov., N. myanmarensis sp. nov., and N. yanyuan sp. nov. Genitalia and habitus of the new species are illustrated. Additional records of

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Evolutionary genetics of two sister taxa, Rüppell's fox (Vulpes rueppellii) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes) [PDF]

Interspecific hybridization can lead to introgression, but its genomic impact depends on the interplay of selection, drift and gene flow. The arid-adapted Rüppell's fox (Vulpes rueppellii) is thought to be the sister species of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes)

Intestinal helminths of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in north-west Italy

Helminthologia, 2016
A total of 180 foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from an area scarcely investigated of north-west Italy, were examined for intestinal helminths using sedimentation and counting technique (SCT).

Seasonal changes of trophic niche overlap in the stone marten (<em>Martes foina</em>) and the red fox (<em>Vulpes vulpes</em>) in a mountainous area of the Northern Apennines (N-Italy)

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1995
<strong>Abstract</strong> Between 1989 and 1991, 284 scats of stone marten (<em>Martes foina</em>) and 642 scats of red fox (<em>Vulpes vulpes</em>) were collected in a 280 km&#178; mountainous area in the ...

Integrating ZooMS and taphonomy further highlights differential processing of animal and Neandertal carcasses in the Quina Mousterian at Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, southwest France)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cave of Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, France) was repeatedly visited by Neandertals ~55 000 years ago and is a key site in discussions of Neandertal cannibalism. Excavations between 1967 and 1980 (Vandermeersch) and between 2001 and 2013 (Maureille/Mann) produced a rich faunal assemblage (>20 000 bones), alongside Quina Mousterian ...

The First Record of Vulpes corsac Linnaeus, 1768 in the Late Pleistocene of Poland

Quaternary
The occurrence of Vulpes corsac in the Late Pleistocene of Europe is primarily supported by a limited number of uncertain records, many of which require revision. More reliable evidence derives from localities in Bohemia and Ukraine. The species’ history
