Predation on San Joaquin Kit Foxes by Larger Canids
Journal of Mammalogy, 1995A better understanding of the relationships between endangered San Joaquin kit foxes ( Vulpes macrotis mutica ) and sympatric larger canids that prey on them is important for conservation efforts toward kit foxes. We used radiotelemetry to monitor the survival and cause of death of 41 San Joaquin kit foxes and 24 coyotes ( Cants latrans ) on the ...

Native to central California, where land is in high demand for development purposes, the San Joaquin kit fox population has been significantly impacted by profound habitat loss. The species remains on the original US endangered species list issued in 1966, with dim prospects for recovery. To guide the work of researchers and conservationists, this book

Gene flow among San Joaquin kit fox populations in a severely changed ecosystem
Conservation Genetics, 2005The San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) was once ubiquitous throughout California’s San Joaquin Valley and its surrounds. However, most of its habitat has been lost to irrigated agriculture, urban development, and oil fields. The remaining foxes are concentrated in six areas, although there are several small pockets of foxes throughout the ...

Joint Effects of Density Dependence and Rainfall on Abundance of San Joaquin Kit Fox
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2000We analyzed time-series abundances of San Joaquin kit fox estimated during 1983-95 on the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California (NPRC). For the analysis, we modified a model of density-dependent, stochastic population growth to include the lagged effects of a weather covariate (vegetation growing season rainfall). Without the covariate in the model, a

Why a Book About the San Joaquin Kit Fox?
This chapter focuses on the San Joaquin kit fox, a small predator native to the San Joaquin Desert that has experienced significant population declines due to habitat loss from agriculture, urbanization, and predator control programs targeting larger species.openaire +3 more sources
Effects of Roads on Endangered San Joaquin Kit Foxes
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2009ABSTRACT  San Joaquin kit foxes ( Vulpes macrotis mutica ) occur in central California, USA, and are endangered due to habitat loss and degradation. As the human population of California grows, more roads are being constructed in remaining kit fox habitat.

Patterns of Den Use by San Joaquin Kit Foxes
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1998Patterns of den use by San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) on an oil and natural gas reserve in the Central Valley of Califomia were studied from 1980 to 1987 to determine the effect of petroleum development on this endangered subspecies of kit fox.

Factors Affecting the Spatial Distribution of San Joaquin Kit Foxes
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1998Determining the factors that influence or limit the distribution of endangered species can have important conservation implications. We investigated the spatial distribution of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) within a 31,400-ha area of the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California (NPRC) from 1988 to 1995 by relating capture ...
