HEMATOLOGIC VALUES OF THE ENDANGERED SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX, VULPES MACROTIS MUTICA [PDF]
Between 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 ...

Assessment of Abundance of San Joaquin Kit Foxes by Spotlight Surveys [PDF]
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.

Predicting Wildfire Damage Versus Habitat Compatibility In Endangered San Joaquin Kit Foxes
Current research on this topic covers a large portion of external forces acting on the habitat of the endangered San Joaquin Kit Fox (SJKF). In spite of this, no sources currently exist which directly correlate fire damage with a SJKF ecosystem model.

SERUM CHEMISTRY VALUES OF THE ENDANGERED SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX (VULPES MACROTIS MUTICA) [PDF]
Serum 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
