Abstract
Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) once occupied ca. 79 counties in Texas, but surveys in 1997–1998 indicated the range of the species was reduced to two counties. We used scat-transects and live-trapping during 2005–2007 to assess current distribution of the species in Texas. Our results indicated that distribution of the swift fox in Texas remains significantly reduced from the historical distribution and that population densities are low where the species currently exists.El zorro del desierto (Vulpes velox) antes ocupaba ca. 79 condados de Texas, pero muestreos en 1997–1998 indicaron que la distribución de la especie se redujo a dos condados. Se utilizaron excrementos a través de transectos y captura de animales vivos durante 2005–2007 para evaluar la distribución actual de la especie en Texas. Nuestros resultados indicaron que la distribución de el zorro del desierto en Texas sigue siendo significativamente reducida de la distribución histórica, y que las densidades poblacionales son bajas donde la especie existe en la actualidad.
