Fox carcasses are seldom recovered after a 1080-baiting program, making analysis of efficacy difficult. Sodium cyanide was selected as an alternative toxin due to its rapid mode of action. A number of bait techniques were trialled in order to develop an appropriate cyanide...

Baiting is widely used to control the introduced fox (Vulpes vulpes) in Australia. Caching of baits by foxes was observed through the use of miniature radio-transmitters. Both non-toxic and toxic (1080) baits were used to determine the number of baits cached, the location of...

A total of 276 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) was captured over 40 597 trap-nights during 1994"

The most important problem regarding mammal conservation in mainland Australia is the low abundance and limited distributions of many species, a legacy of an unprecedented collapse of the mammal fauna on a continental scale that unfolded following European colonisation. Two...

A 2007 information pamphlet by BioSecurity Queensland. This pest animal has been declared Class 2.

The diets of 212 foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in the far south-west of New South Wales were determined between 1985 and 1989 and compared with other Australian studies. Mammalian remains, at an overall occurrence of 99.1%, formed the basis of the diet during the autumn and winter...

The M-44 ejector delivered a reliable lethal dose of 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) to captive foxes, with a capsule dose of 2.0 mg of 1080, if a 'collar' modification was used. Behavioural observations indicated that the collar influenced the orientation of the fox's mouth to...

Intensive destructive sampling of a population of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) was undertaken over an area of 200 km2. A total of 204 foxes, estimated to be 94% of the total population on the site, was collected. Population density was 0.46"

McIntosh (1963) reported on the stomach contents of samples of foxes, Vulpes vulpes (L.), collected mainly from well-watered areas of New South Wales, where sheep are grazed at the rate of one to three per acre. He found that the fox was an opportunist predator and scavenger,...
