“…This is well documented by studies carried out by Onar et al (2005), Wierzbicki et al (2000), and Wierzbicki and Filistowicz (2001, 2002. Long-term artificial selection aiming at genetic improvement of traits related to fur quality, animal size, and pelt length has led to the increasing differences in terms of the exterior and body dimensions between the farm foxes and their wild ancestors, as well as between sexes (Lorek et al 2001;Zatoń-Dobrowolska et al 2012). Furthermore, the association between phenotypic changes and delay in the developmental rate as early as during embryonic morphogenesis was noted.…”

“…Long-term artificial selection targeting traits related to coat quality, animal size, and pelt length ) has led to the increasing differences in terms of the exterior, body dimensions, behaviour, and physiology between the farmed foxes and their wild ancestors (Zatoń-Dobrowolska et al 2012). Over time, farm foxes have become markedly bigger and heavier, while at the same time, the weights of certain internal organs, e.g., the liver, spleen, and kidneys, have increased considerably (Kulawik et al 2013).…”
