Anthropogenic influence on the autumn migration of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in Hudson Bay
DownloadSpring 2022
Migratory species may shift established spatiotemporal patterns in response to anthropogenic impacts, so understanding the energetic consequences of behavioural plasticity may provide insight into how effectively migratory species respond to climate change. I used satellite telemetry to examine...

Echinococcus multilocularis infection is more prevalent in young coyotes (Canis latrans) with varied effects of diet
DownloadFall 2021
Urban environments can influence parasite transmission and prevalence by altering the diets, distribution, abundance, and behaviour of wildlife. Echinococcus multilocularis is a zoonotic cestode that typically parasitizes coyotes (Canis latrans) and rodents (Myodes spp., Microtus spp.) as...

Coyotes and lynx are the two most important mammalian predators of snowshoe hares throughout much of the boreal forest. Populations of hares cycle in abundance, with peaks in density occurring every 8-11 yr, and experimental results suggest that predation is a necessary factor causing these...

Crabtree, R., Lewis, M. A., Moorcroft, P. R.
The traditional models used to characterize animal home ranges have no mechanistic basis underlying their descriptions of space use, and as a result, the analysis of animal home ranges has primarily been a descriptive endeavor. In this paper, we characterize coyote (Canis latrans) home range...

Effective wildlife management involves understanding the population status and habitat of the species in question, as well as human interests in management decisions. Human dimensions are complicated - African wildlife topics often spark international interest in addition to local concerns. Most...

Human-coyote conflicts are increasing in urban areas, where reports of coyotes approaching, pursuing, or attacking pets and people have become more prevalent. Aversive conditioning is increasingly being advocated as a non-lethal method to reduce conflicts with bold coyotes, but it has not been...
