摘要
The population of foxes in the central regions of Yakutia has grown by a factor of four to five during the period from 2000 to 2011-2012, following an increase in the abundance of voles from the genus Microtus. A total of 130 carcasses of foxes taken in 2007-2012 have been examined. Age- and sex-related variation in morphological features has been described. The demographic structure of the population has been studied by estimating animal age from annual layers in the recording structures. Changes in female fertility and involvement in reproduction depending on age and feeding conditions have been analyzed. Changes in the composition of fox diet caused by long-term population depression in the mountain hare and their effect on the dynamics of fox abundance have been revealed. Age- and sex-related characteristics of the condition factor in foxes and sex-related differences in their dietary preferences have been demonstrated.
