HEMATOLOGIC VALUES OF THE ENDANGERED SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX, VULPES MACROTIS MUTICA
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1987Between 1981 and 1982 blood samples were collected from 64 adult San Joaquin kit foxes, Vulpes macrotis mutica, in western Kern County, California. The goal of the study was to establish normal blood values for this endangered species, and to determine whether changes in them could be used to assess the possible effects of petroleum developments on ...

Effects of Radiocollars on San Joaquin Kit Foxes
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1997Effects of radiocollars on San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica; Mecure et al. 1993) at the Naval Petroleum Reserves, California were assessed by comparing survival, body mass changes, and reproductive indices between uncollared and collared foxes, and between foxes wearing 100-110 and 50-60-g collars.

Condition of San Joaquin Kit Foxes in Urban and Exurban Habitats
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1999We compared condition of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) between an urban population in Bakersfield, California (BAK), and a nearby exurban population at the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California (NPRC). Our objective was to determine whether differences between urban and exurban environments, particularly food availability ...

Barking Vocalizations in San Joaquin Kit Foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica)
The Southwestern Naturalist, 2008Abstract Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) and Arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) often use barking to communicate information to mates, members of social groups, and other conspecifics. Barking by the closely related kit fox (V. macrotis), however, remains largely unobserved and undocumented. We observed barking among a population of radiocollared San Joaquin kit

SERUM CHEMISTRY VALUES OF THE ENDANGERED SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX (VULPES MACROTIS MUTICA)
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1992Serum chemistry values were obtained from 64 adult San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) in western Kern County, California (USA). The goal of the study was to establish normal chemistry values for this endangered species. No significant differences were found for mean values of alanine aminotransferase (217.1 IU/l), alkaline phosphatase (44.2

Urban landscape attributes affect occupancy patterns of the San Joaquin kit fox during an epizootic
Pacific Conservation Biology, 2021The federally endangered and California state threatened San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) persists in relatively high density in the urban environment of Bakersfield, California, USA. Coyotes (Canis latrans), red foxes (V. vulpes), and gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are natural competitors of San Joaquin kit foxes, and their presence

TWO OBSERVATIONS OF TREE CLIMBING BY THE SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX
The Southwestern Naturalist, 2004Abstract Tree climbing behavior is rarely observed among the Canidae and has not been observed in kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis). While conducting another behavioral study in Bakersfield, California in November 2002, we observed kit foxes climb trees on 2 occasions.

Variation in annual estimates of effective population size for San Joaquin kit foxes
Animal Conservation, 1998AbstractWe used a demographic model to calculate a series of annual Ne/Nestimates ((Ne/N)S) for a population of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) and to identify the demographic parameters explaining significant portions of the variation in (Ne/N)S estimates. Demographic data were collected between 1981 and 1995 from adult kit

Raising Pups of Urban San Joaquin Kit Fox: Relative Roles of Adult Group Members
Western North American Naturalist, 2019Maternal care of young is the norm in mammals because of internal gestation and lactation by females. Care by adults other than the mother is rare in most mammals but is common in primates, rodents, and carnivores. We studied parental care in an urban population of the San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica), a small canid endemic to the San ...
