A review of sarcoptic mange in North American wildlife
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)
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.

The consumption of human food subsidies influences ecological processes, and can affect individual behavior and fitness with population level changes in abundance and distribution. American black bears Ursus americanus often consume human food subsidies, which have been correlated with increased bear body size, age‐specific fertility and mortality ...

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

A look at seed dispersal via mammal droppings [PDF]
Terrestrial mammals are good dispersers of the fruits and seeds of seasonal rainforest in the Gulf of Mexico. Their importance lies in the huge quantity of fruit and seeds they consume, and their daily and seasonal movement through natural and secondary ...

Using a 3‐year, broad‐scale camera‐trap network in western Kansas, we tested whether coyotes and American badgers exhibit spatiotemporal patterns consistent with coordinated hunting. Despite high diel activity overlap, detection‐conditioned co‐detections occurred far less frequently than expected under independence, and short‐term temporal sequencing ...

Effects of selective harvest on antler size of white‐tailed deer in Texas, USA
We conducted 20 years of experiments on the selective harvest of white‐tailed deer by antler size, judged inferior, in 2 areas of South Texas, USA. Selective harvest increased the phenotypic antler size of older males in one study area but not the other. There was little evidence of evolution resulting from selective harvesting. Abstract There has been

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

Genetic Predictions of Prion Disease Susceptibility in Carnivore Species Based on Variability of the Prion Gene Coding Region [PDF]
Mammalian species vary widely in their apparent susceptibility to prion diseases. For example, several felid species developed prion disease (feline spongiform encephalopathy or FSE) during the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic in the ...
