Abstract
In a study of the population dynamics of the red fox Vulpes vulpes (L.) in different parts of Sweden, productivity was measured from litter size and frequency of barren females. The mortality rate among cubs was also estimated (Englund, 1970). As part of the same project, an attempt was made to measure productivity, mortality and dispersal rates of foxes in a restricted area in the south of the northern coniferous zone during the years 1966–69. For lack of financial support, this part of the study could not be properly realized. It is felt, however, that the data obtained, while inconclusive on most points, may furnish the basis for a discussion of certain general problems related to projects of this kind.
