“…The red fox has a very wide distribution in Eurasia and North America (Ginsberg & Macdonald;Nowak;Larivière & Pasitschniak-Arts, 1996) and is very common in Anatolia (Temizer). Besides their general classification, work on the determination of subspecies has also been carried out (Temizer).…”

SUMMARY:In the burial chamber M4 of the Van-Yoncatepe necropolis in eastern Anatolia, dated to the beginning of the first millennium before our time, fox skeletal remains have been discovered together with human skeletal remains. The fox remains consist of two skulls and a large number of skeletal (postcranial) bones. Examination of the material led us to the conclusion that five foxes had been buried in the chamber. Craniometric and osteometric measurements were carried out on the bones, and estimations of shoulder height and body weight have been calculated. Evaluation of all quantitative and qualitative data and comparison with modern fox species led to identification of the remains as red fox (Vulpes vulpes).

“…We constructed a grid with cell size covering 20 9 20 km 2 . The cell size corresponds to a scale where gene flow still can occur between neighboring cells (Larvière and Pasitschniak-Arts 1996). Our data set subsequently consisted of 18 cells with a sample size of 4-26 individuals.…”

Red foxes colonizing the tundra: genetic analysis as a tool for population management

Climate change accelerates biodiversity alterations in northern ecosystems. A prevalent example is that tundra regions are invaded by boreal species. This impacts negatively on native species through competition, predation and transmission of zoonoses. Scandinavian red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) have emerged into the tundra and have altered the structure and function of the tundra community. For instance, they threaten persistence of the endangered Swedish Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus). County board administrations implement control of the tundra red foxes, but little is known about the underlying expansion dynamics. A broad-scale study revealed high connectivity where northern areas were supplemented with red foxes from surrounding population. However, red fox expansion is most prevalent in tundra regions and the fine-scaled expansion dynamics in these areas have not yet been disseminated. With the aim of identifying the invasive pathways of tundra red foxes, we present microsatellite data for 205 Swedish red foxes and mitochondrial sequence variation in 102 foxes sampled across the historical boreonemoral distribution and recently colonized tundra regions. Genetic structuring was low with high levels of ongoing, asymmetric dispersal from surrounding boreal zones into tundra habitats causing high genetic admixture. In both tundra and boreo-nemoral regions, inter-individual relatedness decreased with increasing geographic distance and data suggests male-biased dispersal patterns. Overall, finescaled expansion patterns were affected by multiple factors and we discuss its implications for future red fox management.

“…It preys on a wide range of animal species and feed opportunistically on food resources such as berries and human garbage (Hartova-Nentvichova et al 2010;Rosalino et al 2010;Dell'Arte et al 2007). The red fox occupies highly contrasting habitats (Lariviere and Pasitschniak-Arts 1996), and its distribution and abundance is determined to a large extent by food availability (Barton and Zalewski 2007;Rosalino et al 2010;Gallant et al 2012). In Scandinavia, the main prey of the red fox is microtine rodents (Lindström 1987).…”
