Arctic fox tooth wear and breakage data for arctic foxes collected on the Yamal Peninsula, Russia, between 1981 and 2019

This dataset includes wear scores for individual teeth and microwear of arctic foxes collected on the Yamal Peninsula in Russia, in 1981, 1983, 2007, and 2019. Metadata include the region of specimen collection (south, north, Sabetta), sex of individual, level of back fat (a proxy for nutritional status), and relative pulp cavity diameter (a proxy for age). These data allow us to assess the impact of year of specimen collection, location of specimen collection, sex of the individual, nutritional status, and age on gross tooth wear and breakage for each tooth and on microscopic pattern of wear for arctic foxes.

本数据集涵盖1981年、1983年、2007年及2019年在俄罗斯亚马尔半岛（Yamal Peninsula）采集的北极狐个体牙齿磨损评分与牙齿微磨损数据。其元数据包含标本采集区域（南部、北部、萨贝塔（Sabetta））、个体性别、背部脂肪厚度（作为营养状况的替代指标）以及相对髓腔直径（作为年龄的替代指标）。该数据集可用于评估标本采集年份、采集地点、个体性别、营养状况及年龄对北极狐单颗牙齿的整体牙齿磨损与破损情况，以及牙齿微观磨损模式的影响。
