Influence of the red fox ( Vulpes vulpes, Linnaeus 1758) on the distribution and number of breeding birds in an intensively used farmland
This study tested the hypothesis that small birds at their nest sites avoid areas around dens of the red fox ( Vulpes vulpes, Linneaus 1758) in an intensively used farmland. Birds were counted at 18 points (radius 100 m) located near dens, as well as at 18 control points that were located at least 6...
