Modeling and Mapping Coyote (Canis latrans) Abundance in Northwestern Vermont [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Predators such as, coyotes (Canis latrans), have profound effects on ecosystems. Coyotes are recent arrivals in the northeastern United States of America, and in Vermont their ecology remains poorly understood.

Whole-genome sequence analysis shows that two endemic species of North American wolf are admixtures of the coyote and gray wolf. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Protection of populations comprising admixed genomes is a challenge under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which is regarded as the most powerful species protection legislation ever passed in the United States but lacks specific provisions for hybrids ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Atherectomy With Multimodal Embolic Protection for Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Lesions

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe calcification in femoropopliteal lesions remains a clinical challenge to achieve both the technical and long‐term success in endovascular therapy. Although atherectomy is an effective treatment for calcified lesions, it is associated with the risk of distal embolization, even with the use of embolic protection devices (EPDs), and ...

Proactive use of intensive aversive conditioning increases probability of retreat by coyotes

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Coyotes (Canis latrans) are showing increasingly bold behaviors toward people and their pets throughout North America. Bold behavior by wildlife might be reduced by hazing and aversive conditioning, which is recommended in many management plans for ...

The Pythagorean Won-Loss Formula and Hockey: A Statistical Justification for Using the Classic Baseball Formula as an Evaluative Tool in Hockey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Originally devised for baseball, the Pythagorean Won-Loss formula estimates the percentage of games a team should have won at a particular point in a season. For decades, this formula had no mathematical justification.

Genome-wide signatures of population bottlenecks and diversifying selection in European wolves [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Long‐term benefits of burns for large mammal habitat undermined by large, severe fires in the American West

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...

Evidence of reduced abundance, density, and survival of coyotes under federal management for red wolf recovery

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
To mitigate coyote (Canis latrans) introgression in the wild red wolf (Canis rufus) genome, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Red Wolf Recovery Program used a combination of reproductive sterilization and lethal removal of coyotes to ...
