Variation in Body Mass of San Joaquin Kit Foxes [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 1999
We evaluated effects of age, sex, season, and year on body mass of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes ( Vulpes macrotis mutica ) over a 16-year period at the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California. Mean body mass of kit foxes increased by 35–47% for the 1st 3 months of life, and foxes gained ca.

Non-invasive baseline genetic monitoring of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox on a photovoltaic solar facility [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2015
Survival of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes Vulpes macrotis mutica is challenged by reduced and fragmented habitat resulting from anthropogenic uses. We monitored kit foxes on the 40 km2 proposed site for the Topaz Solar Farms (TSF) in San Luis Obispo ...

Land Use as a Driver of Patterns of Rodenticide Exposure in Modeled Kit Fox Populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Although rodenticides are increasingly regulated, they nonetheless cause poisonings in many non-target wildlife species. Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide use is common in agricultural and residential landscapes.

Golden Eagle predation on endangered San Joaquin kit foxes [PDF]

Western North American Naturalist, 2019
Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) have been identified as a potential predator of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica), but only one case of such predation has been confirmed. In a recent study on San Joaquin kit foxes, we documented

Social Interactions among San Joaquin Kit Foxes Before, During, and After the Mating Season [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2008
Direct observations of small foxes are rare because of their secretive nature and nocturnal activity patterns. We observed 10 adult ( 1-year-old) San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) at night over a 7-month period that included the mating season to quantify the types, rates, and durations of social interactions.

Spatiotemporal partitioning between the endangered San Joaquin kit fox and a novel mesocarnivore community in the urban environment as revealed by camera traps

Global Ecology and Conservation
Urbanization has led to the rapid formation of novel biotic communities, which via interspecific interactions, may affect niche partitioning dynamics of native, sensitive species. The endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica; hereafter ‘kit

SEROLOGICAL SURVEY FOR SELECTED DISEASES IN THE ENDANGERED SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX (VULPES MACROTIS MUTICA) [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1988
Blood from endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) inhabiting the Elk Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve, Kern County, and the Elkhorn Plain, San Luis Obispo County, California, was collected in 1981, 1982 and 1984 and sera were tested for antibodies against 10 selected pathogens.

Consequences of Lack of Parameterization Invariance of Non-informative Bayesian Analysis for Wildlife Management: Survival of San Joaquin Kit Fox and Declines in Amphibian Populations [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Computational convenience has led to widespread use of Bayesian inference with vague or flat priors to analyze statistical models in ecology. Vague priors are claimed to be objective and to “let the data speak.” However, statisticians have long disputed ...

Dispersal Patterns of San Joaquin Kit Foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2000
We investigated dispersal patterns of San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica )o n the Naval Petroleum Reserves, California. Of 209 juvenile kit foxes monitored during 1980‐1996, 33% dispersed from their natal territory. Significantly more males (49.4%) than females (23.8%) dispersed, and dispersal peaked in July.
