Relative fox group density (FGD) and badger group density (BGD) estimates and landscape composition in the 14 study sites.

¹cities are considered long established

² cities with recent colonisation

No. of response = number of respondents data used in analysis, No. of fox cub records = number of fox cub records in one site over 2 years. FSD = Fox sightings density from [24]; ^(previous) = values in parenthesis denote predicted fox social group densities from [36].
