Spatial ecology and demography of eastern coyotes (Canis latrans) in western Virginia
Coyote (Canis latrans) range expansion in the Central Appalachian Mountains has stimulated interest in ecology of this predator and potential impacts to prey populations. This is particularly true in the Ridge and Valley Region in western Virginia where white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) …

Effects of Canopy Cover and Impervious Surface Cover on Occurrence of Coyotes (Canis latrans) and Gray Foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) throughout the United States
Coyotes (Canis latrans) and gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are habitat generalist species that occupy similar ecological niches and compete for the same food resources. Urbanization may disrupt habitat resources and intensify interspecific competition. Therefore, there is a need to determine …

Effect of enhanced nutrition during winter on the Uncompahgre Plateau mule deer population
… predator populations, particularly coyote (Canis latrans) populations. Information was needed to guide the decision process. I therefore evaluated the effect of enhanced nutrition during winter on the Uncompahgre deer population as a way to evaluate the importance of habitat quality versus …

The Taxonomic Status of Coyotes From Western South Dakota
Expansion of the range of the coyote (Canis latrans) has been accompanied by numerous instances of hybridization with domestic dogs (C. familiaris). Recent studies have found a hybrid element in some wild coyote populations. The objectives of this study were to identify the taxonomic status of …

Lead exposure in large carnivores in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem
… lead in black bears (Ursus americanus), wolves (Canis lupus), coyotes (Canis latrans), grizzly bears and cougars. Grizzly bears show higher blood lead levels (n = 82, median=4.4 μg/dL, range 1.1-18.6 μg/dL) than black bears (n = 44, median=1.6, range 0.5-6.9 μg/dL), but blood lead levels did not …
