| Popis: | A decline in the Danish population of red foxes Vulpes vulpes due to an outbreak of canine distemper (CDV) in 2012 gave us the opportunity to test the hypothesis that the reproductive performance of foxes increases when the population density declines. The reproductive performance of 280 female foxes from two periods (mainly shot or road killed) in 1997-2000 and 2012-16, were compared. Game Bag Records of Jutland (GBRJ) were used as an estimate of population density. After a drop in GBRJ in 2013 due to the CDV epidemic, the mean litter size (based on dark placental scars from partum to oestrus) became significantly larger than in previous years; F=4.3, p>0.03, Hc=8.1, p |
