Diet selection in the Coyote Canis latrans. [PDF]
J Mammal, 2023 Abstract The Coyote (Canis latrans) is one of the most studied species in North America with at least 445 papers on its diet alone. While this research has yielded excellent reviews of what coyotes eat, it has been inadequate to draw deeper conclusions because no synthesis to date has considered prey availability.

Mapping the expansion of coyotes (Canis latrans) across North and Central America [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 The geographic distribution of coyotes (Canis latrans) has dramatically expanded since 1900, spreading across much of North America in a period when most other mammal species have been declining.

Coyote (Canis latrans) Macronutrient Consumption and Diet Relative to Seasonality and Urbanization [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionDiet selection informs the health, fitness, and behavior of wild predators. Due to assumptions that vertebrate prey contains similar compositions of macronutrients (i.e., protein, carbohydrates, and lipids), whole prey items traditionally define ...

Space Use and Habitat Selection by Resident and Transient Coyotes (Canis latrans). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Little information exists on coyote (Canis latrans) space use and habitat selection in the southeastern United States and most studies conducted in the Southeast have been carried out within small study areas (e.g., ≤1,000 km2).

Coyotes can do ‘puppy dog eyes’ too: comparing interspecific variation in Canis facial expression muscles [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceFacial expressions are critical for non-verbal communication. The Canis genus epitomizes the interplay between behaviour and morphology in the evolution of non-verbal communication.

Killing Neck Snares Are Inhumane and Non-Selective, and Should Be Banned [PDF]
AnimalsIn North America, where fur trapping remains an active practice, killing neck snares continue to be used for capturing canids, particularly red fox (Vulpes vulpes), coyote (Canis latrans), and gray wolf (Canis lupus).

Generalized Net Model of Coyote Optimization Algorithm [PDF]
International Journal Bioautomation, 2022 In the presented paper, the functioning of the coyote optimization algorithm (COA) is described using the apparatus of generalized nets (GNs). The COA is a population-based metaheuristic for optimization inspired by the Canis latrans species.

Susceptibility of Wild Canids to SARS-CoV-2
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We assessed 2 wild canid species, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (Canis latrans), for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. After experimental inoculation, red foxes became infected and shed infectious virus. Conversely, experimentally challenged coyotes
