Scientific Reports, 2020 Generalist species able to exploit anthropogenic food sources are becoming increasingly common in urban environments. Coyotes (Canis latrans) are one such urban generalist that now resides in cities across North America, where diseased or unhealthy ...

Coyotes Choose Cover Over Concrete When Selecting Den Sites [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAnimal decision‐making directly impacts survival and reproductive success, particularly for reproductive habitat specialists (e.g., denning species) in highly dynamic environments.

DNA metabarcoding reveals that coyotes in New York City consume wide variety of native prey species and human food [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Carnivores are currently colonizing cities where they were previously absent. These urban environments are novel ecosystems characterized by habitat degradation and fragmentation, availability of human food, and different prey assemblages than ...

Interference competition between wolves and coyotes during variable prey abundance
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Interference competition occurs when two species have similar resource requirements and one species is dominant and can suppress or exclude the subordinate species. Wolves (Canis lupus) and coyotes (C. latrans) are sympatric across much of their range in

Fine‐scale movements and behaviors of coyotes (Canis latrans) during their reproductive period
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In canids, resident breeders hold territories but require different resources than transient individuals (i.e., dispersers), which may result in differential use of space, land cover, and food by residents and transients.

Scientific Reports, 2019 Coyotes (Canis latrans) are highly adaptable, medium-sized carnivores that now inhabit nearly every large city in the United States and Canada. To help understand how coyotes have adapted to living in urban environments, we compared two ecologically and ...

PLoS ONE, 2020 Urban environments are unique because fragments of natural or semi-natural habitat are embedded within a potentially permeable matrix of human-dominated areas, creating increased landscape and, potentially, habitat heterogeneity. In addition, urban areas

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Prior to 1900, coyotes (Canis latrans) were restricted to the western and central regions of North America, but by the early 2000s, coyotes became ubiquitous throughout the eastern United States.

Large-scale experimental assessment of coyote behavior across urban and rural landscapes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCarnivores must navigate the complexities of human modifications to their environment. Natural resources and biodiversity decline in urban areas, while people in rural areas often pose greater direct risk through actions such as hunting.

Coyote family activity in a landscape of fear [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCoyote (Canis latrans) presence in many North American cities evokes fear in some humans, driving demands for management action. With societal values shifting towards non-lethal coexistence practices, many wildlife managers turn to strategies like ...
