Urban Magpies Frequently Feed on Coyote Scats and May Spread an Emerging Zoonotic Tapeworm
A ten-year community reporting database reveals rising coyote boldness and associated human concern in Edmonton, Canada
In cities throughout North America, sightings of coyotes ( Canis latrans ) have become common. Reports of human-coyote conflict are also rising, as is the public demand for proactive management to prevent negative human-coyote interactions. Effective and proactive management can be informed by the direct observations of community members, who can report their interactions with coyotes and describe the location, time, and context that led to their…
Urban Compost Attracts Coyotes, Contains Toxins, and may Promote Disease in Urban-Adapted Wildlife
Tolerance for cougars diminished by high perception of risk
In North America, both human and cougar populations are expanding and increasingly sharing the same space, including modified landscapes viewed by people as their "backyard." Low tolerance for cougars in modified landscapes has been identified as a key factor that could restrict continued cougar range expansion in North America, or even reverse some of the gains made by cougar populations in recent decades. To better understand factors influencin…
Dead Ducks and Dirty Oil
In April 2008, more than 1,600 migrating ducks died after landing on a toxic tailings pond in the Oil Sands region of northeastern Alberta. The responsible company was found guilty and paid the largest environmental fine in Alberta's history. To assess the nature of this environmental focusing event, we identified 747 newspaper articles that covered this event, published between January 2008 and June 2011. Each article was coded based on date of …
Predator-Resembling Aversive Conditioning for Managing Habituated Wildlife
Kloppers, E. L., C. C. St. Clair, and T. E. Hurd. 2005. Predator-resembling aversive conditioning for managing habituated wildlife. Ecology and Society 10(1): 31. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-01293-100131
Path Tortuosity and the Permeability of Roads and Trails to Wolf Movement
"Few studies have examined the effects of human development on fine-scale movement behavior, yet understanding animal movement through increasingly human-dominated landscapes is essential for the persistence of many wild populations, especially wary species. In mountainous areas, roads and trails may be particularly deserving of study because they are concentrated in the valley bottoms where they can impede animal movement both across and between…
Cumulative Effects of Barriers on the Movements of Forest Birds
"Although there is a consensus of opinion that habitat fragmentation has deleterious effects on animal populations, primarily by inhibiting dispersal among remaining patches, there have been few explicit demonstrations of the ways by which degraded habitats actually constrain individual movement. Two impediments are primarily responsible for this paucity: it is difficult to separate the effects of habitat fragmentation (configuration) from habita…
Winter Responses of Forest Birds to Habitat Corridors and Gaps
"Forest fragmentation and habitat loss may disrupt the movement or dispersal of forest-dwelling birds. Despite much interest in the severity of these effects and ways of mitigating them, little is known about actual movement patterns in different habitat types. We studied the movement of wintering resident birds, lured by playbacks of mobbing calls, to compare the willingness of forest birds to travel various distances in continuous forest, along…
