Ancestral foxes at the gates of Europe

The Pliocene record of genus Vulpes Frisch, 1775 in Eurasia is scarce, coming from few sparse localities. The lack of a comprehensive and integrated revision led to the description of numerous different taxa, often only tentatively related to extant species but not with one another. Çalta-1 is an im...

The lack of a comprehensive and integrated revision led to the description of numerous different taxa, often only tentatively related to extant species but not with one another. Çalta-1 is an important Pliocene site located in the Anatolian region of Turkey, dated to 4.0 Ma. In the present review, we reappraise the interesting record of Vulpes galatica Ginsburg, 1998. Morphological and morphometric evidence suggests a strong similarity between this taxon and the early Late Pliocene V. beihaiensis Qiu & Tedford, 1990, recovered from the Chinese Yushe Basin. Such evidence favors the parsimonious interpretation of synonymy between the two species, under the name V. beihaiensis. This hypothesis opens a new interpretation on the biogeography of the Pliocene-Early Pleistocene foxes of Eurasia. Vulpes beihaiensis links the Asian and European records, with its affinity to V. alopecoides (Del Campana, 1913) and, eventually, to the extant red fox (Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758)).Anciens renards aux portes de l'Europe: le renard pliocène de Calta-1 (Turquie) et ses relations avec les renards européens et asiatiques du Plio-Pléistocène. Le signalement pliocène du genre Vulpes Frisch, 1775 en Eurasie est peu abondant, du fait de quelques localités éparses. L'absence d'une révision intégrée et exhaustive a conduit à la description de nombre de taxons souvent reliés, à titre d'essai, à des espèces actuelles, mais non l'un à l'autre. Calta-1 est un important site pliocène localisé dans la région anatolienne de Turquie, daté de 4 Ma. Dans cet article, nous réexaminons l'intéressant signalement de Vulpes galatica Ginsburg, 1998. Des preuves morphologiques et morphométriques suggèrent une importante similitude entre ce taxon et V.beihaiensis. Qiu& Tedford, 1990 du début du Pliocène supérieur, récolté dans le bassin d'Yushe, en Chine. De telles preuves plaident en faveur de l'interprétation parcimonieuse d'une synonymie entre les deux espèces, sous le nom de V. beihaiensis. Cette hypothèse permet une nouvelle interprétation des renards d'Eurasie au Plio-Pléistocène-Pléistocène inférieur. Vulpes beihaiensis relie les registres européens et asiatiques, avec son affinité à V. alopecoides (Del Campana, 1913) et, éventuellement, au renard rouge actuel (Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758)). 22021-01-0120212021-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/247614https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5852/cr-palevol2021v20a29reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengAgencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 CGL2017-82654-PAgència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2017/SGR-116open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
