Mechanisms of diet selection in coyotes (Canis latrans) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference, 2000 Author(s): Wenning, Krista M.; DeLiberto, Thomas J. | Abstract: Coyote depredation is estimated to cause in excess of $11 million in damage annually to the national livestock industry. Numerous studies suggest coyotes forage optimally. Yet, not all coyotes kill prey with high nutritional benefit to cost ratios (e.g., livestock) when given the ...

Cognitive flexibility and aging in coyotes (Canis latrans).
Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2022 Cognitive flexibility evolves in species that live in complex and dynamic social systems and habitats and may enable species to better cope with anthropogenic habitat modification. Aging may also impact the cognitive abilities of canids. Coyotes (Canis latrans) and domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) differ markedly in their social and trophic ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species.
