This study finds that long-term urban exposure in red foxes is associated with greater exploration and problem-solving behaviors, while recent urban colonization does not significantly predict these traits.

The paper examines how spatial factors like urbanisation and geographic region influence reports of human-wildlife interactions and public attitudes towards red foxes in the UK, finding spatial predictors for some but not all outcomes.

The study finds that public beliefs about red foxes raiding bins in urban areas do not align with local experiences or ecological data, and these beliefs influence attitudes towards foxes independently of direct observations.

This study finds that frequent positive red fox encounters are linked to stronger nature connectedness but not anxiety in people, suggesting fox interactions may enhance environmental attitudes.
