Description
Valentina Panitsina and co-authors trace the past of the arctic fox across the Palearctic in a 2023 study. The fox's story through the last ice age and since then was poorly known. The team read DNA from old bones, museum skins, and living foxes to fill the gaps.
Samples span fifty thousand years to the present, from the Urals to far island and mainland sites. A dated family tree and a time-based network sort the samples into four spans. Foxes from the late ice age showed no gene match to later ones, which backs the idea that those groups died out locally.
