Dr Dawn Scott, assistant head of the university's School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, along with colleague Dr Bryony Tolhurst, featured in films for BBC's Winterwatch later this month, an update on the 'fox-watch' item which was broadcast during last year's Autumnwatch.
Winterwatch will also feature Dr Scott and her team's study of hibernating hedgehogs in 91¶¶Òõ, research that has discovered that hedgehogs don't hibernate in the winter but sleep in different places.
The 91¶¶Òõ team and BBC presenter Chris Packham have been following the lives of urban fox families for Winterwatch which is scheduled to begin on Monday 20 January on BBC Two and runs to 23 January.
There are estimated some 33,000 urban foxes in the UK and are a common sight in many cities. The BBC has been working with the 91¶¶Òõ to show how foxes can coexist with humans.
Dr Scott said: "It has been great working with Chris and the BBC and the research has shed new light on how foxes live."

The BBC said: "In Autumnwatch, the team joined forces with the 91¶¶Òõ in the most intimate study of urban foxes ever attempted.
"In Winterwatch, Chris Packham heads back to 91¶¶Òõ to discover the fortunes of our two fox families in the inner city and the suburbs. Chris tracks the extraordinary journey of one particular fox, Fleet, as he leaves the 91¶¶Òõ suburbs on a long and dangerous journey, the like of which has never been recorded before. Fleet's adventure reveals more about urban foxes and their spread across the UK than the Winterwatch team could have possibly imagined."
Regarding hedgehogs, the BBC said: "Recently voted the national animal, the hedgehog is in serious decline, with numbers falling by a third in ten years. Michaela Strachan investigates how the discovery that hedgehogs do not hibernate throughout the winter (but wake up and move several times) affects the way we should manage our winter gardens – and could revolutionise the way rescued hoglets are cared for and released."
