Patterns and Processes of Genetic Diversity in the Endangered San Joaquin Kit Fox
, 2014 Survival of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (SJKF; Vulpes macrotis mutica) is challenged by reduced and fragmented habitat resulting from anthropogenic land uses in the Central Valley of California. Because the SJKF is adapted to arid landscapes and utilizes large home ranges to prey on kangaroo rats, genetic techniques are very useful to study ...

Effects of roads on San Joaquin kit foxes: a review and synthesis of existing data
, 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 ...

Competitive Interactions between Coyotes and San Joaquin Kit Foxes [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 1998 Competitive interactions between coyotes ( Canis latrans ) and federally endangered San Joaquin kit foxes ( Vulpes macrotis mutica ) were investigated at the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California (NPRC) during 1984–1995. Coyotes and kit foxes used similar food items, indicating the potential for exploitative competition. Leporids were the primary prey

, 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 ...
