The proceedings of a symposium held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in February 1998.
The symposium was aimed at fostering information exchange and identifying the "state-of-the-science" of swift fox ecology and status in North America. Biologists and endangered species experts from fifteen states, three provinces, and seven countries participated in the symposium to discuss current distribution, population dynamics, characteristics of dispersal, habitat selection, disease, taxonomy, legal status, and conservation of this species, as well as information about the closely related kit fox. A specific goal of the meeting was to formulate a strategy that best addressed ways in which management could be applied to increase the distribution of the species and the viability of existing populations.
