Abstract

Red fox ( Vulpes vulpes ) represents family Canidae and is a very common predator in Poland. Foxes are present throughout all the country in a different geographical regions and habitats. The analyzed dataset consisted of 130 red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ). There were 24 microsatellite sequences studied. The observed ( H O ) and expected ( H S ) heterozygosities were comparable within respective loci. The low genetic diversity of the population was found.
