Abstract Invasive red foxes are recognised as one of the most important threatening processes to the decline of native Australian mammal species. The current study was undertaken to better understand fox behaviour so as to ultimately provide data that can inform more effective fox control. In this thesis, camera trapping was used to investigate fox activity patterns over a full year, as well as the further investigation into the predator – prey activity pattern overlap between foxes and some of their common native and invasive prey species. These prey species include; brown antechinus, native and introduced rodents, long-nosed bandicoot, phalangeriformes (possums) and introduced leporids (i.e. rabbits).
