摘要: Factors affecting red fox (Vulpes vulpes) dispersal patterns are poorly understood but warranted investigation because of the role in rebuilding depleted populations and transmission diseases. We examined foxes North Dakota based on recoveries 363 854 tagged as pups relative to density. Foxes were recovered up 8.6 years after tagging; 79% trapped or shot. Straight-line distances between tagging recovery locations ranged from 0 302 km. Mean increased with age greater for males than females, longest individual by females. Dispersal not related population density (P = 0.36) females 0.96)
