Species of the monthIsland FoxUrocyon littoralis (Baird, 1857) Some facts about this small caniform carnivoran:
An interesting phylogenetic detail about the Island Fox – or rather, the genus Urocyon – is that whole genome sequencing (WGS) indicates that it is the most basal genus of all living canids. Fossils of their ancestors found in Kansas date to the Upper Pliocene (circa 2.6–3.6 million years ago), with some undescribed specimens dating even older. See Lindblad-Toh, K. et al. 2005. Genome sequence, comparative analysis and haplotype structure of the domestic dog. Nature 438: 803–819. DOI: 10.1038/nature04338 See also: Species of previous months. |
