“…Therefore, anti‐predator behavior in terms of avoidance of human disturbance may explain the observed increase in fox diurnal activity in dense habitats (Table ), which would be safer for this canid. In agreement with this, several studies have reported that red foxes in rural areas select habitats dominated by dense vegetation during daytime even with human presence (Cavallini & Lovari, ; Reynolds & Tapper, ; Janko et al ., ; but see Sunquist, ).…”

“…Both maps were intersected to obtain a topologically correct map of the study area (Berlin plus 4 km buffer zone from Brandenburg area). Based on this map we reclassified all occurring land use structures (752 categories) into 12 land use structures (see Figure 1) typical for urban areas and meaningful for urban foxes (Harris, 1977;Harris and Rayner, 1986;Janko et al, 2012;Börner, 2014): (1) arable land, (2) inner-city blocks (typical Berlin apartment houses), (3) forest, (4) private green space (gardens, allotments, camping sides), (5) industrial area (warehouses, power plants), (6) public building (schools, train stations), (7) urban green space (parks, botanical gardens), (8) streets, (9) detached houses (villa, leisure residence) (10) water bodies (rivers and lakes), (11) railway tracks (railway sidings and embankments), (12) brownfields covering unbuilt and anthropically unused areas.…”

“…Georeferenced carcass finding locations indicate the individual's death location; thus, we assigned a wider area (buffer) to each location to capture the possible land cover structures an individual might have used shortly before dying. In literature, home ranges-the area an animal uses during lifetime-of urban foxes differ from 25 to 78 ha (Harris, 1980;Gloor, 2002;Janko et al, 2012). Consequently, buffering was done at three different scales to identify the optimal spatial resolution of the landscape variables (Figure 1).…”
