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

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 ...

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 ...

More than 460 cases of sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei) in endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (SJKF; Vulpes macrotis mutica) have been reported in Bakersfield, California, US. Because SJKF are a den-obligate species, their dens have been proposed as a route of transmission.

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

This chapter introduces the San Joaquin kit fox, providing an overview of its evolution, taxonomy, and ecology. It describes the fox's size, adaptations, and conservation status, noting that its appearance is similar to other kit foxes, with some exceptions.

A fatal outbreak of sarcoptic mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei in San Joaquin kit foxes ( Vulpes macrotis mutica) in Bakersfield, California, US is causing the once-stable population to decline. Given the fatality of the disease in this already-endangered species experiencing continued population declines, city-wide interventions are underway.

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 +1 more source
