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 ...

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.

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 ...

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

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

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
