THE EFFICIENCY OF LIVE-CAPTURE TRAPS FOR THE STUDY OF RED FOX (VULPES VULPES) CUBS: A THREE-YEAR STUDY IN POLAND

The Efficiency of Live-Capture Traps for the Study of Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) Cubs: A Three-Year Study in Poland

Safe and efficient techniques for the live capture of carnivores are limited.In this study, we identified some of the factors that could affect the success of capturing red fox cubs with live capture traps (also known as cage traps).During a three-year period, we analysed 32 captures of 25 fox cubs (1.3 captures/fox).We assessed the impact of the f
