Post‐release settlement and resource selection by reintroduced Swift fox
Monitoring post‐release dispersal of reintroduced wildlife informs management strategies to improve outcomes. In previous Swift fox (Vulpes velox) reintroductions, post‐release movements corresponded with survival and have been a metric for success of release strategies, but settlement patterns and resource selection by individuals from different ...
