Spatial resource partitioning by sympatric grey fox (Dusicyon griseus) and culpeo fox (Dusicyon culpaeus) in southern Chile

摘要: The activity patterns, home-range use, and habitat utilization of sympatric South American grey fox (Dusicyon griseus) culpeo culpaeus) in eastern Torres del Paine National Park, Chile, were studied to determine how the two species distributed. Both primarily nocturnal. Mean percent daily did not differ between or among seasons, but had a greater rate summer fall winter spring. Seasonal annual home ranges foxes larger than those foxes, sexes seasons. Home interspersed mosaic-like arrangement overlap. Grey located more often upland shrub transition areas medium cover density. Culpeo found thickets trees high Within their range, matorral shrubland Nothofagus thicket was selec...
