The city-fox phenomenon: genetic consequences of a recent colonization of urban habitat.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is one of the best-documented examples of a species that has successfully occupied cities and their suburbs during the last century. The city of Zurich (Switzerland) was colonized by red foxes 15 years ago and the number of recorded individuals has increased steadily since then. Here, we assessed the hypothesis that the fox population within the city of Zurich is isolated from adjacent...
