Mercury bioaccumulation in hair and skin of arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) and silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in rural and urbanized region
Mercury bioaccumulation in hair and skin of silver and arctic foxes farmed in typically rural and urbanized regions (Wielkopolskie Voivodship, Poland) was assessed. Hair and skin samples were collected and analyzed for total Hg content using atomic absorption spectrometry. Hairs and skin of foxes farmed in the rural region accumulated higher amount of Hg compared to animals from the urbanized o...
متن کاملCorrelates between Feeding Ecology and Mercury Levels in Historical and Modern Arctic Foxes (Vulpes lagopus)
Changes in concentration of pollutants and pathogen distribution can vary among ecotypes (e.g. marine versus terrestrial food resources). This may have important implications for the animals that reside within them. We examined 1) canid pathogen presence in an endangered arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population and 2) relative total mercury (THg) level as a function of ecotype ('coastal' or 'inla...
متن کاملCoccidiosis in farmed silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and blue foxes (Alopex lagopus) in Finland: a case report:
Fur animal farming was initiated during the 1890s on Prince Edward Island in Canada. Farmed silver foxes descend from animals caught from the wild on the island. Finnish fur farming increased during the post war period and in mid-1980s, there were about 6000 fur animal farms, mostly located in Southern Ostrobothnia (Fig.), producing about 8 million fur animals yearly. Currently, there are appro...
متن کاملGnawing bones as enrichment for farmed blue foxes ( Vulpes lagopus).
According to present acts and regulations, farmed foxes shall have a gnawing or other enrichment object in their cages. However, research on the welfare effects of gnawing objects has been scarce. We assessed physiology and health, that is weight development, urinary cortisol-creatinine ratio, serum cortisol level after adrenocorticotropic hormone administration, internal organ masses and incid...
متن کاملFat indices of arctic foxes Alopex lagopus in Svalbard
© WILDLIFE BIOLOGY · 9:3 (2003) Fecundity in and survival of wild animals are strongly related to their fat content, which reflects availability and quality of food. In many temperate and arctic homeotherms, fat deposition in summer and autumn is crucial for their winter survival. Hence, techniques of estimating fat content of animals have been widely used in management of and research on wildl...
