Describing Diet of Imperiled Sierra Nevada Red Foxes and a Carnivoran Competitor Using DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]
Montane red foxes (Vulpes vulpes ssp.) native to western North America are of broad conservation interest, but their ecology is poorly understood due to their rarity. We examined the diet of the Sierra Nevada red fox (V. v. necator) in an unstudied portion of their range in Oregon, USA, then evaluated dietary overlap between red fox and coyote (Canis ...
