Genetic characterization of flea-derived Bartonella species from native animals in Australia suggests host-parasite co-evolution [PDF]

, 2011
Fleas are important arthropod vectors for a variety of diseases in veterinary and human medicine, and bacteria belonging to the genus Bartonella are among the organisms most commonly transmitted by these ectoparasites.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

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 ...

Predation patterns on the tundra—genetic barcoding of scats from two sympatric fox species

Arctic Science, 2023
In the Arctic tundra, climate-induced emergence of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758)), a competitor to the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus (Linnaeus, 1758)), is predicted to influence predation patterns of both fox mesopredators.

Development of Future Habitat Suitability Models for the Swift fox (Vulpes velox) in the American Southwest [PDF]

, 2009
The Swift fox (Vupes velox) is a habitat specialist species of short or mixed grass prairie. We used bioclimatic envelope models and habitat suitability models under three future climate scenarios (based on CO2 emission rates) from "www ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Giardia and Cryptosporidium in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes): Screening for coproantigens in a population of central Italy and mini-review of the literature

Macedonian Veterinary Review, 2019
Giardia and Cryptosporidium are common protozoan parasites affecting several animal species and humans. The aim of this survey was to investigate, for the first time, their prevalence in red fox (Vulpes vulpes) faecal samples in central Italy.

Fear and Foxes: An Educational Primer for Use with "Anterior Pituitary Transcriptome Suggests Differences in ACTH Release in Tame and Aggressive Foxes". [PDF]

, 2020
The way genes contribute to behavior is complicated. Although there are some single genes with large contributions, most behavioral differences are due to small effects from many interacting genes.

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.
