Use of Cover and Response to Cover Type Edges by Female Sierra Nevada Red Foxes in Winter
Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) use a variety of habitats across their range, including semiarid deserts, tundra, boreal forests, farmland, and urban areas (Larivière and Pasitschniak-Arts 1996). Within these habitats there is much variation in the use of different cover types among populations of red fox...
