Morphological and Genetic Assessments of Coyote Diet in Qualla Boundary, North Carolina, Show Interaction with Humans [PDF]
AnimalsThroughout the 20th century, coyotes (Canis latrans) expanded from their historical geographic range west of the Mississippi River to a current range of almost all of North America. Over the course of this expansion, coyotes have demonstrated diverse and

Coexistence of coyotes (Canis latrans) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in an urban landscape
PLoS ONE, 2018 Urban environments are increasing worldwide and are inherently different than their rural counterparts, with a variety of effects on wildlife due to human presence, increased habitat fragmentation, movement barriers, and access to anthropogenic food ...

Raccoon Vigilance and Activity Patterns When Sympatric with Coyotes
Diversity, 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]
PLoS 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.

Pathology and parasitology of free-ranging coyotes from Tennessee and South Carolina. [PDF]
PLoS ONECoyotes are exposed to many parasites and pathogens of veterinary and zoonotic concern. To assess the prevalence of the diseases caused by these microbes, we opportunistically obtained coyote samples from a variety of sources including a GPS collaring ...

The effect of urbanization on spatiotemporal interactions between gray foxes and coyotes
Ecosphere, 2022 Interactions between species can influence their distribution and fitness, with potential cascading ecosystem effects. Human disturbance can affect these competitive dynamics but is difficult to measure due to potential simultaneous spatial and temporal ...

The roles of habitat and intraguild predation by coyotes on the spatial dynamics of kit foxes
Ecosphere, 2017 Intraguild predation (IGP) by a dominant predator can drive the spatial dynamics of a subordinate predator and may explain space-use patterns that deviate from theoretical predictions that species will use areas that maximize the availability of limited ...

Prevalence, spatial distribution and risk mapping of Dirofilaria immitis in wild canids in southern Québec, Canada [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeDomestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and wild canids, including coyotes (Canis latrans) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), serve as definitive hosts for Dirofilaria immitis, a parasitic nematode causing the heartworm disease.

Social Learning of Avoidance Behaviors: Trap Aversion in Captive Coyotes [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2022 Social learning can help animals gain knowledge rapidly and may enhance survival. In species that are subjected to capture in foothold traps and then lethally removed, such as the coyote (Canis latrans), learning to avoid traps is critical to survival ...

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