Mamíferos en petroglifos del valle de Mascota, México

Mammalogy Notes, 2022
El valle de Mascota es una región del centro occidente de México, donde se han registrado 4.042 petroglifos individuales, de los que aproximadamente 305 han sido denominados genéricamente como “animales”. Los glifos datan del año 1 al 1.600 d.C.

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

A review of sarcoptic mange in North American wildlife

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
The “itch mite” or “mange mite”, Sarcoptes scabiei, causes scabies in humans and sarcoptic mange in domestic and free-ranging animals. This mite has a wide host range due to its ability to adapt to new hosts and has been spread across the globe ...

Olfactory discrimination of lithium chloride by the coyote (Canis latrans)

Behavioral and Neural Biology, 1981
Following illness from 100 g dog food containing 6 g lithium chloride, coyotes (Canis latrans) were presented with a series of simultaneous olfactory discrimination tests. In the first test the coyotes avoided dog food laced with 6 g lithium chloride, choosing plain dog food on all trials.

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Initial colonization of Long Island, New York by the eastern coyote, Canis latrans (Carnivora, Canidae), including first record of breeding [PDF]

Check List, 2017
Coyotes (Canis latrans Say, 1823) have increased their range dramatically over the past century. Formerly restricted to western North America, they now roam across the continent, in many habitats including large cities.

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Hair of the dog: Obtaining samples from coyotes and wolves noninvasively

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Canids can be difficult to detect and their populations difficult to monitor. We tested whether hair samples could be collected from coyotes (Canis latrans) in Texas, USA and gray wolves (C. lupus) in Montana, USA using lure to elicit rubbing behavior at

Road mortality mitigation for red wolves requires a landscape approach

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In 1980, the red wolf Canis rufus was declared extinct in the wild. However, starting in 1987, a captive breeding program allowed for a reintroduction effort in and around Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (Alligator River NWR), North Carolina, USA. In 2012 the wild red wolf population peaked at about 120 individuals.

Coyotes can do ‘puppy dog eyes’ too: comparing interspecific variation in Canis facial expression muscles

Royal Society Open Science
Facial expressions are critical for non-verbal communication. The Canis genus epitomizes the interplay between behaviour and morphology in the evolution of non-verbal communication.
