The aim of this study was to compare the characters of the pectoral girdle morphological elements between the wild and captive, farm-bred forms of the red fox. The study was conducted on the humeri, radii, ulnae, and scapulae collected from 24 wild and 20 farmed red foxes. Each individual was posthumously measured for body weight and natural length, and the bones of the anterior girdle were collected. Images of humeri and their epiphyses were used for measurements. Statistical analysis of the measurements suggests that most metric characters of the shoulder girdle bones are greater in farmed fox. Captive foxes are characterized by a larger body weight and a shorter body as compared to the wild form. There were significant (P ≤0.01, P ≤0.05) dimorphic differences in the length and breadth of the humeral epiphysis and radial epiphysis. Also, we found a significant (P ≤0.01, P ≤0.05) effect of origin on the length of the bones.

Celem badań było porównanie wartości cech morfologicznych elementów obręczy barkowej lisa pospolitego dzikiego i hodowlanego. Badania przeprowadzono na kości ramiennej, promieniowej, łokciowej i łopatce 24 lisów pospolitych dzikich i 20 lisów hodowlanych. Po uboju określono masę ciała i długość naturalną każdego osobnika, a na pobranym odcinku obwodowym przednim wykonano pomiary wymienionych kości, wykonano fotografie rzutów poziomych kości ramiennych i nasad tych kości. Analiza statystyczna wybranych cech szkieletu obręczy barkowej wskazuje na zwiększenie wartości większości cech badanych kości. Osobniki pochodzące z hodowli charakteryzowały się większą masą, ale mniejszą długością ciała. Stwierdzono istotne (P ≤ 0.01; P ≤ 0.05) różnice dymorficzne dla cech długości i szerokości nasad kości ramiennej i promieniowej oraz istotny (P ≤ 0.01; P ≤ 0.05) wpływ pochodzenia lisów na cechy długości tych kości.
