چکیده
Acknowledgments This project has been supported primarily by Cook County (Illinois) Animal Control, with special support from the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County (FPDCC). In particular, we would like to thank Dr. Dan Parmer for his support. Chris Anchor, FPDCC, has provided invaluable assistance with many aspects of the project. Rob Erickson was contracted to assist with coyote trapping. Many technicians and volunteers associated with the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation have contributed to radio-tracking and processing captured individuals. Paul Morey radio-tracked coyotes and conducted diet analyses. Justin Brown provided information on coyote predation on goose eggs. assisted with serology; and Dr. Tom Meehan and his staff performed fecal analyses. kindly provided external reviews that greatly improved the manuscript. Ohio State University Extension embraces human diversity and is committed to ensuring that all educational programs conducted by OSU Extension are available to clientele on a nondiscriminatory basis without regard to race

Feeding Ecology Informs Parasite Epidemiology: Prey Selection Modulates Encounter Rate with Echinococcus multilocularis in Urban Coyotes
We investigated the role of urban coyote feeding ecology in the transmission of Echinococcus multilocularis, the causative agent of Alveolar Echinococcosis in humans. As coyotes can play a main role in the maintenance of this zoonotic parasite within North American urban settings, such study can ultimately aid disease risk management. Between June 2012 and June 2013, we collected 251 coyote fec...
متن کاملEcology of Coyotes in Urban Landscapes
Coyotes (Canis latrans) have become common in many metropolitan areas across the United States. Recent research has focused on the urban ecology of coyotes to better our understanding of how they exist in urbanized landscapes. 1 summarize findings from a variety of ecological studies of coyotes in or near metropolitan areas, and focus on three areas of coyote ecology: survival rates, home range...
متن کاملAttitudes of College Undergraduates Towards Coyotes (Canis latrans) in an Urban Landscape: Management and Public Outreach Implications
Understanding and assessing the public's attitudes towards urban wildlife is an important step towards creating management plans, increasing knowledge and awareness, and fostering coexistence between people and wildlife. We conducted a survey of undergraduate college students in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area-where coyotes are recent arrivals-to determine existing attitudes towards coyo...
متن کاملManagement and Conservation Patterns of Human–Coyote Conflicts in the Denver Metropolitan Area
In many cities throughout North America, human–coyote conflicts are an emerging problem. Little research has described temporal and spatial patterns of human–coyote conflicts, although such information can be an important step in developing and optimizing management efforts. We used reports from 22 entities within the Denver Metropolitan Area (DMA) in Colorado that provided information on coyot...
