Relaxin as a diagnostic tool for pregnancy in the coyote (Canis latrans)
Animal Reproduction Science, 2007 The diagnosis of pregnancy in the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) often employs specialized equipment, experienced staff, and the cooperation of the bitch. These procedures can be challenging when the subject is a wild canid, particularly in a field setting.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Testing Fladry as a Nonlethal Management Tool for Wolves and Coyotes in Michigan
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Several forms of nonlethal management exist, but fi eld testing is problematic, and few such techniques have been tested on free-ranging wolves (Canis lupus) or other predators.

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Do You Hear What I Hear? Human Perception of Coyote Group Size
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Recordings of 1 – 4 coyotes (Canis latrans) that were howling and yip-yapping were played to 427 participants who were asked to estimate the number of coyotes they perceived to hear.

Candidatus Bartonella merieuxii, a potential new zoonotic Bartonella species in canids from Iraq. [PDF]
, 2012 Bartonellae are emerging vector-borne pathogens infecting erythrocytes and endothelial cells of various domestic and wild mammals. Blood samples were collected from domestic and wild canids in Iraq under the United States Army zoonotic disease ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Diameter thresholds for distinguishing between red wolf and other canid scat
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011 Differentiation between scats of sympatric canid species is important for determining species‐specific presence and movements, but distinction in the field is difficult.
