Interference competition between wolves and coyotes during variable prey abundance

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesEcology 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.

Geographic patterns in morphometric and genetic variation for coyote populations with emphasis on southeastern coyotes

open access: yesEcology 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.

Raccoon Vigilance and Activity Patterns When Sympatric with Coyotes

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Nonconsumptive effects of predators potentially have negative fitness consequences on prey species through changes in prey behavior. Coyotes (Canis latrans) recently expanded into the eastern United States, and raccoons (Procyon lotor) are a common ...

Isotopic ecology of coyotes from scat and road kill carcasses: A complementary approach to feeding experiments. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Scat is frequently used to study animal diets because it is easy to find and collect, but one concern is that gross fecal analysis (GFA) techniques exaggerate the importance of small-bodied prey to mammalian mesopredator diets.

Mind the gap: Experimental tests to improve efficacy of fladry for nonlethal management of coyotes

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Coyotes (Canis latrans) are the top predator of livestock in the contiguous United States. Developing more effective nonlethal tools to prevent coyote depredation will facilitate coexistence between livestock producers and coyotes.

Individual and Temporal Variation in Use of Residential Areas by Urban Coyotes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Coyotes (Canis latrans) have established populations in most major urban centers across North America. While the risk of attacks on humans or their pets is low, the presence of carnivores in areas with high human use has resulted in increased public ...

Individual animal geographies for the more-than-human city: Storying synanthropy and cynanthropy with urban coyotes

open access: yesEnvironment and Planning E Nature and Space, 2021
Recent efforts within geography to deconstruct anthropocentric readings of the urban and explore the city as ‘multispecies’ or ‘more-than-human’ face substantial methodological challenges.

Reviving ghost alleles: Genetically admixed coyotes along the American Gulf Coast are critical for saving the endangered red wolf

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
The last red wolves were captured along the Gulf Coast in 1980, where they hybridized with coyote, to establish the captive breeding population. However, red wolf ancestry persists in local coyotes and could be leveraged by genomic innovations to support

Parameter estimation of electric power transformers using Coyote Optimization Algorithm with experimental verification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In this work, the Coyote Optimization Algorithm (COA) is implemented for estimating the parameters of single and three-phase power transformers. The estimation process is employed on the basis of the manufacturer's operation reports.
