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

Natural 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.

PLoS 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.

Low levels of genetic differentiation and structure in red fox populations in Eastern Canada and implications for Arctic fox rabies propagation potential.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Rabies is a lethal zoonosis present in most parts of the world which can be transmitted to humans through the bite from an infected mammalian reservoir host.

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

PLoS 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 ...

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

Arctic 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

BMC 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.

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

Scientific 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.

Canine Distemper Virus Infection in the Free-Living Wild Canines, the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) and Jackal (Canis aureus moreoticus), in Croatia

Pathogens, 2023
The canine distemper virus (CDV), a paramyxovirus that is closely related to the human measles virus and rinderpest virus of cattle, is a highly contagious viral disease in dogs and wild carnivores worldwide.

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

Polar 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 ...

Restricted‐area culls and red fox abundance: Are effects a matter of time and place?

Conservation Science and Practice, 2019
Predators are often culled to benefit prey, but in many cases this conservation goal is not achieved or results remain unknown. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a predator of global significance, and an invasive species in some regions.
