Abstract
Collections of Late Glacial fox remains from the sites of Chaleux, Furfooz and Goyet (Belgium) were studied. The bones were examined, measured and compared with samples of extant and fossil arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes). The Late Glacial red foxes from Belgium are in general larger than recent Belgian red foxes and compare more in size to those of present-day Nordic populations. The change in size in the red fox follows Bergmann's rule and can be correlated with climatic changes during the time period studied. The size of the lower carnassial of arctic fox does not differ significantly among the Late Pleniglacial, Late Glacial and Holocene samples studied. A well-defined progressive trend can, however, be traced in the postcranial size of the arctic foxes. The Pleniglacial foxes are the smallest, ranging well below recent continental foxes in size, whereas Late Glacial arctic foxes are almost comparable in body size with those of recent Siberian populations. The arctic fox appears to be adapting to a very cold climate throughout the Weichselian.
