Use of Agricultural Lands by San Joaquin Kit Foxes [PDF]
Western North American Naturalist, 2007 Although the current range of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) borders large areas of farmland, the ecology of this species rarely has been studied within an agricultural setting. In central California, we examined habitat use, prey availability, and diet of radio-collared kit foxes inhabiting an aqueduct right-of-way (ROW ...

Management and Conservation of San Joaquin Kit Foxes in Urban Environments [PDF]
Proceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference, 2012 Author(s): Cypher, Brian L.; Van Horn Job, Christine L. | Abstract: The San Joaquin kit fox is listed as federally Endangered and California Threatened, primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural, industrial, and urban developments. However, a population of kit foxes estimated at 200-400 persists within the city of Bakersfield, CA. This population

Assessment of Abundance of San Joaquin Kit Foxes by Spotlight Surveys [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 1997 Biologists of the California Department of Fish and Game have conducted quarterly spotlight surveys of San Joaquin kit foxes, Vulpes macrotis mutica , and potential species of prey along seven 48-km routes since 1970. The annual reproductive cycle of the foxes was reflected by a seasonal cycle in the counts.

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.

Effects of supplemental feeding on survivorship, reproduction, and dispersal in San Joaquin kit foxes [PDF]
, 1993 Previous field studies at the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California indicated that a decline in tie population size of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox might be linked to declining prey abundance. To evaluate whether kit fox populations we limited by food resources; survival probabilities, sources of mortality, reproductive success, and dispersal ...

Effects of roads on San Joaquin kit foxes: a review and synthesis of existing data [PDF]
, 2003 Roads have a variety of adverse impacts on wildlife populations and can seriously impact rare species. Numerous roads are present throughout the range of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica), and many more are planned. We review existing literature and data to assess potential impacts from roads on kit fox conservation and ...

Coyote control to protect endangered San Joaquin kit foxes at the Naval Petroleum Reserves, California [PDF]
, 1992 We investigated the effectiveness of a coyote (Canis latrans) control program implemented to increase numbers of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) at the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California (NPRC). Between 1980 and 1985, the kit fox population on NPRC declined approximately 66% while coyote abundance apparently increased ...
