Abstract In camera trap studies, attractants may be used to increase detection probabilities of wildlife, which help improve estimates abundance and occupancy. Using a semi-experimental approach, we investigated if commercial, strawberry scented lure increased probability visiting time duration in red fox Vulpes vulpes , the potential reasons for variation these parameters. September 2020, with...

Red fox reproduction in north-eastern Spain was studied by analysing the reproductive tracts of 84 females. Mean litter size was estimated to be 3.32 cubs per female, most of the births occurring from mid-March to mid-April.

Let ℓ m be a sequence of points on line with consecutive at distance one. Answering question raised by Fox and the first author independently Arman Tsaturian, we show that there is natural number red/blue-colouring

Predation and fire shape the structure and function of ecosystems globally. However, studies exploring interactions between these two processes are rare, especially at large spatial scales. This knowledge gap is significant not only for ecological theory, but also in an applied context, because it limits the ability of landscape managers to predict the outcomes of manipulating fire and predator...

A serologic survey for Canine distemper virus (CDV) and canine parvovirus (CPV) was performed on serum and lung extract from an opportunistic sample of 120 free-ranging wild carnivores (13 species) from Portugal, collected from 1995 to 2006. Antibodies to CDV were detected in wolf (Canis lupus; 3/27) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes; 2/22). Antibodies to CPV were detected in wolf (9/28), red fox (2/1...

Ecologists undertaking stable isotopic analyses of animal diets require trophic enrichment factors (TEFs) for the specific animal tissues that they are studying. Such basic data are available for a small number of species, so values from trophically or phylogenetically similar species are often substituted for missing values. By feeding a controlled diet to captive European badgers (Meles meles...

In this case report, a female adult red fox (Vulpes vulpes) found exhausted by the villagers in rural area of Eskişehir constituted study material. A rare myiasis disease was diagnosed Red Fox who examined Surgery Clinic Veterinary Health Application and Research Center. Myiasis is clinically important condition that can lead to wide variety diseases caused fly larvae. under consideration, mult...

The problem of how to protect sea turtle nests from terrestrial predators is of worldwide concern. On Queensland's southern Sunshine Coast, depredation of turtle nests by the introduced European red fox (Vulpes vulpes) has been recorded as the primary terrestrial cause of egg and hatchling mortality. We investigated the impact of foxes on the nests of the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) and...
