Status Evaluation of Corsac Fox (Canidae, Vulpes corsac)Population in Dagestan

摘要

Investigation into the population of corsac fox in Dagestan enabled us to identify the animal's distribution, habitat, home ranges, forage base, and population size dynamics. A significant correlation has been established between the population size of corsac fox, annual precipitation, and the number of grazing livestock. Limiting factors that determine the population status of the corsac fox are studied.
