Memory-Based Quantity Discrimination in Coyotes (Canis latrans) [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2014 Previous research has shown that the ratio between competing quantities of food significantly mediates coyotes‘ (Canis latrans) ability to choose the larger of two food options.

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

Diversity, 2023 Carnivores with large home ranges are especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation. As coyotes (Canis latrans) are often found living in highly modified landscapes, it is unclear how urban and suburban development impact gene flow between their ...

Risk from a top predator and forest structure influence scavenging by smaller carnivores
Ecosphere, 2023 Large carcasses often attract multiple carnivore species, so subordinate carnivores must weigh the reward of a profitable meal with the risk of being attacked by dominant carnivores.

Genome-wide signatures of population bottlenecks and diversifying selection in European wolves [PDF]
, 2013 Genomic resources developed for domesticated species provide powerful tools for studying the evolutionary history of their wild relatives. Here we use 61K single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) evenly spaced throughout the canine nuclear genome to ...

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.

The influence of snowmobile trails on coyote movements during winter in high-elevation landscapes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Competition between sympatric carnivores has long been of interest to ecologists. Increased understanding of these interactions can be useful for conservation planning.

Coursing the mottled mosaic: Generalist predators track pulses in availability of neonatal ungulates
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The density and distribution of resources shape animal movement and behavior and have direct implications for population dynamics. Resource availability often is “pulsed” in space and time, and individuals should cue in on resource pulses when the ...

Susceptibility of Wild Canids to SARS-CoV-2
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We assessed 2 wild canid species, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (Canis latrans), for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. After experimental inoculation, red foxes became infected and shed infectious virus. Conversely, experimentally challenged coyotes
