Coyote (Canis latrans) use of marine resources in coastal California: A new behavior relative to their recent ancestors [PDF]
The Holocene, 2018 Coyotes ( Canis latrans) are known to consume marine foods, but the importance and persistence of marine subsidies to coyotes is unknown. Recent access to a marine subsidy, especially if gained following apex predator loss, may facilitate coyote ...

Size-assortative choice and mate availability influences hybridization between red wolves (Canis rufus) and coyotes (Canis latrans). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 Anthropogenic hybridization of historically isolated taxa has become a primary conservation challenge for many imperiled species. Indeed, hybridization between red wolves (Canis rufus) and coyotes (Canis latrans) poses a significant challenge to red wolf

A leucistic female Canis latrans (Carnivora: Canidae) in Costa Rica
Cuadernos de investigación UNED, 2019 Partial depigmentation (leucism) is rare in mammals. We report 17 camera trap records of a single female leucistic coyote (Canis latrans) in Costa Rica between 2014 and 2018.

Do coyotes Canis latrans influence occupancy of prey in suburban forest fragments? [PDF]
Curr Zool, 2016 With the extirpation of apex predators from many North American systems, coyotes Canis latrans have become the de facto top predator and are ubiquitous members of most ecosystems. Keystone predators aid in maintaining ecosystem function by regulating the

Ecological changes in Coyotes (Canis latrans) in response to the ice age megafaunal extinctions. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 Coyotes (Canis latrans) are an important species in human-inhabited areas. They control pests and are the apex predators in many ecosystems. Because of their importance it is imperative to understand how environmental change will affect this species. The

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 ...

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.
