Does removing coyotes for livestock protection benefit free-ranging ungulates?

Article Abstract:

A study on a large-scale area in Utah and Colorado to find out whether the level of predator control conducted for livestock protection was related in any way to observed mule deer or pronghorn densities and offspring female ratios is presented. Results revealed that coyote control for livestock protection might increase densities of mule deer and pronghorn.

Habitat use by meso-predators in a corridor environment

Article Abstract:

Red foxes, raccoons, end striped skunks' use of levees and the edges associated with them within a wetland environment are studied. It is found that the use of road and levees within the refuge increases the possible travel distance and penetration of predators into wetlands environments.

Cameras, coyotes, and the assumption of equal detectability

Article Abstract:

A study to find out whether remote photography methods used in wildlife studies to address a variety of questions are unbiased is illustrated. Results concluding that the cameras are not always unbiased and that animal behavior should also be considered whilst using these systems.
