The use of human habitat in an extreme desert by a generalist mammal, the Red Fox, balances energy and risk considerations

2026-05-12

Abstract excerpt

Human-induced environmental changes are widespread, affecting the natural world at varying scales, from individual animals to entire ecosystems. In human-modified habitats, animals are expected to change their behaviour in ways that depend on both environmental and species-specific characteristics. We studied the effects of human-modified habitats on the behaviour of the generalist Red Fox, Vulpes vulpes, in a hyp...
