Estimating coyote density from mark-resight surveys

Article Abstract:

Astudy on coyote density in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal was conducted to develop recommendations for future survey designs. The study used radio telemetry to monitor coyote populations in the region. However, the population density estimates showed that majority of the coyotes simply moved back and forth in the survey area. Consequently, the study recommended that it would be more cost effective and accurate to tag 20% of the coyote populations and simply record future sightings.

Coyote movements in relation to the spatial distribution of sheep

Article Abstract:

Coyote behavior and movement is modified by the presence of a concentrated and dense food source, namely sheep. Territoriality by scent marking does not prevent coyote access into the food source, thus range areas may overlap to a high degree and coyotes may follow the sheep to neighboring territories. There are even incidents of core area intrusions. However, sheep movement and coyote movement have not been correlated to establish a cause and effect pattern.

Coyote investigative behavior following removal of novel stimuli

Article Abstract:

The effects of the presence and removal of repellent and attractive stimuli on coyote behavior are examined. The results have suggested that wild and captive frequented the sites more after removal of novel objects from the sites.
