“…This is in contrast with other European countries where fox populations seem to be increasing (Panek and Bresinski 2002). The relative abundance of foxes in our study was similar to previous reports from Spain (Millán et al 2001) but lower than in other regions with higher human density (Weber et al 1991). This could be important in disease epidemiology such as sarcoptic mange or canine distemper because both benefit from high population density (Williams and Barker 2001).…”

“…The different visibility among localities due to habitat structure and the detection of species at very low densities can affect the results of spotlight counts (Weber et al 1991;Sadlier et al 2004), but this factor cannot be controlled in KAI. By using distance data to estimate a detection function, distance sampling methodology (Buckland et al 2004) could improve simple encounter rate indices like KAI (Ruette et al 2003).…”

“…A variety of methods have been used: counts of reproductive dens (Insley 1977, Page 1981, Harris and Rayner 1986a, b, Hewson 1986, Coman et al 1991, Meia and Weber 1992, Allen and Sargeant 1993, hunting or questionnaire statistics (Lloyd 1968, Kolb and Hewson 1980, Harris 1981, Hatcher and Shaw 1981, Hewson 1984, Lindström 1991, scent stations (Hatcher andShaw 1981, Rau et al 1985), spotlighting (Stahl 1990, Stahl and Migot 1990, Weber et al 1991, Marlow 1992, track counts on snow (Pulliainen 1981, Goszczyński 1989) and on sand (Rau et al 1985, Servin et al 1987, or faeces counts along transects (Kolb andHewson 1980, Rau et al 1985). Of these methods, only exhaustive den counts allow the estimation of absolute density, when applied in limited areas that can be easily searched (i.e.…”

“…In addition, night-lighting sessions were conducted once a month on three successive nights along a 30-km representative circuit. A detailed description of the followed protocol is presented in Weber et al (1991). The primary aim linked to the application of this technique was to determine red fox (Vulpes vulpes) density in the study area (Meia and Weber 1996), but we also gathered useful data on badger abundance.…”
