- Based on mtDNA analysis, Leite et al. (2015) revealed paraphyly of V. vulpes and clustering of V. rueppellii within V. vulpes, with V. rueppellii being most closely related to two V. vulpes clades found in Morocco.

Diversity and neutrality indices of V. rueppellii and V. vulpes based on a 664-bp concatenated sequence dataset (cytochrome b and D-loop, excluding sites with gaps). N number of sequences, S polymorphic sites, η number of mutations, H number of haplotypes, π nucleotide diversity, Hd haplotype diversity, with SD for the latter two in brackets.
Mar 15, 2023 · We propose three scenarios that could explain these observations: (1) rapid, recent speciation of V. rueppellii from V. vulpes, (2) incomplete lineage sorting, or (3) ancient divergence followed by introgression and secondary mtDNA similarity.

Apr 4, 2024 · Among carnivores, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is considered a prototypical generalist predator: its feeding habits vary widely spatially, temporally and in response to human influence,...
Through DNA sequencing, it was found that there is a relationship but also differences in the evolutionary history of the two closely related species, Ruppell's fox and the red fox. Ruppell's fox is classified within the red fox, but the red fox is not classified within Ruppell's fox, indicating a rapid speciation process or genetic mixing.
Taxonomy, Systematics and Paleontology. The red fox (Fig. 1) is the largest true fox species (Order Carnivora, Family Canidae, Genus Vulpes) with a natural Holarctic distribution extending from Europe and North Africa in the west, through Asia, into North America in the East (Larivière and Pasitschniak-Arts 1996).
