Remote Monitoring of Island Foxes

Abstract

In this report we evaluate an innovative radio-telemetry system for monitoring San Nicolas Island foxes through a DoD Legacy funded research and demonstration project. We first describe our monitoring efforts and accomplishments using this system. We then summarize the results of the first year of intensively monitoring fox survival using this system and develop a preliminary set of monitoring-based criteria to trigger management actions based on these results. Finally, we discuss ways in which the system can be improved and new developments to be implemented in the second year of this project.
