Behavioral changes associated with a population density decline in the facultatively social red fox (2009)

Iossa, Graziella, Soulsbury, Carl D., Baker, Philip J., Edwards, Keith J., Harris, Stephen

Understanding the causal mechanisms promoting group formation in carnivores has been widely investigated, particularly how fitness components affect group formation. Population density may affect the...

Body mass, territory size, and life-history tactics in a socially monogamous canid, the red fox Vulpes vulpes (2008)

Graziella Iossa, Carl D. Soulsbury, Philip J. Baker, Stephen Harris

Male-biased sexual size dimorphism is typical of polygynous mammals, where the degree of dimorphism in body mass is related to male intrasexual competition and the degree of polygyny. However, the...

Polygynandry in a red fox population: implications for the evolution of group living in canids? (2004)

Baker, Philip J., Funk, Stephan M., Bruford, Michael W., Harris, Stephen

Canid social groups are typically thought to consist of extended families, that is, a dominant breeding pair and related nonbreeding subordinates, that principally obtain indirect fitness benefits...

Environmental variation at the onset of independent foraging affects full-grown body mass in the red fox

Soulsbury, Carl D, Iossa, Graziella, Baker, Philip J, Harris, Stephen

The period following the withdrawal of parental care has been highlighted as a key developmental period for juveniles. One reason for this is that juveniles cannot forage as competently as adults,...
