Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying
