Karyotype Analysis of Vulpes vulpes (Common Fox) of Iran

Reproduction of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes Linnaeus, 1758) in north-eastern Spain: a preliminary report.

Red fox reproduction in north-eastern Spain was studied by analysing the reproductive tracts of 84 females. Mean litter size was estimated to be 3.32 cubs per female, most of the births occurring from mid-March to mid-April.

Temporal genetic variation of the red fox, Vulpes vulpes, across western Europe and the British Isles

Quaternary climatic fluctuations have had profound effects on the phylogeographic structure of many species. Classically, species were thought to have become isolated in peninsular refugia, but there is limited evidence that large, non-polar species survived outside traditional refugial areas. We examined the phylogeographic structure of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), a species that shows high ec...

Reproduction of the red fox Vulpes vulpes in Central Italy

The reproduction of the red fox Vulpes vulpes has been widely studied (Hayssen et al. 1993). Most features are highly variable, and reproductive output appears dependent on food availability at high latitudes (Englund 1970), whereas at lower latitudes it seems limited by social constraints (Macdonald 1980, Lindström 1989). No data on the reproduction of the red fox are available for the Mediter...

Polymorphism of cytogenetic markers in wild and farm red fox (Vulpes vulpes) populations.

Analysis of the origin of domestic animals is of wide interest and has many practical applications in areas such as agriculture and evolutionary biology. Identification of an ancestor and comparison with the domesticated form allows for an analysis of genetic, physiological, morphological and behavioral effects of domestication. Because fox breeding has been an ongoing process for over a centur...
