Population Density, Habitat Characteristics and Preferences of Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) in Chakwal, Pakistan

open access: yesJournal of Bioresource Management, 2020
The Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a least concern carnivore according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (2016). However, in Pakistan Red fox is considered as Near Threatened (NT), due to habitat destruction and depletion of food resources.

Living with the enemy: activity rhythms of the red fox and some potential preys in an urban environment

open access: yesNatural History Sciences, 2021
The present study aimed at investigating the activity rhythms of the red fox Vulpes vulpes and three potential preys (i.e. the European hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus, the wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus, and the Norway rat Rattus norvegicus) in an urban ...

Were ancient foxes far more carnivorous than recent ones?-Carnassial morphological evidence.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Crown shape variation of the first lower molar in the arctic (Vulpes lagopus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) was analyzed using five groups of morphotypes.

The role of a mechanistic host in maintaining arctic rabies variant distributions: Assessment of functional genetic diversity in Alaskan red fox (Vulpes vulpes).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Populations are exposed to different types and strains of pathogens across heterogeneous landscapes, where local interactions between host and pathogen may present reciprocal selective forces leading to correlated patterns of spatial genetic structure ...

Garbage in the diet of carnivores in an agricultural area [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Human food waste is considered to be richer in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins than most natural food supplies; however, it is very well digested in scats. So, as an indication of this kind of food in the diet, we have used each indigestible,

Colonization of Warsaw by the red fox Vulpes vulpes in the years 1976–2019

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The red fox is one of the most adaptable carnivores inhabiting cities. The aim of our study was to describe the process of Warsaw colonization by the red fox.

Predation patterns on the tundra—genetic barcoding of scats from two sympatric fox species

open access: yesArctic Science, 2023
In the Arctic tundra, climate-induced emergence of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758)), a competitor to the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus (Linnaeus, 1758)), is predicted to influence predation patterns of both fox mesopredators.

No evidence for spatial variation in predation risk following restricted-area fox culling

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2019
Background Predation and predator abundance may significantly affect bird populations, especially ground nesting species, because nest predation is often the major cause of nest failure.

Homage to Hersteinsson and Macdonald: climate warming and resource subsidies cause red fox range expansion and Arctic fox decline

open access: yesPolar Research, 2017
Climate change can have a marked effect on the distribution and abundance of some species, as well as their interspecific interactions. In 1992, before ecological effects of anthropogenic climate change had developed into a topical research field ...

Functional anatomy of the middle and inner ears of the red fox, in comparison to domestic dogs and cats

open access: yes, 2020
Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...
