With fall right around the corner, dispersal season is near. πŸ‚ Young coyotes set out to find mates and territory. Our Westchester trail cams logged 46 sightings last Sept compared to fewer than 10 in other months.

Reposting an interesting paper. We also ran into this using isotopes to assess coyote diets. We found a canopy effect on d13C values indicating enrichment was influenced more by land cover features and less by use of human foods. Agricultural cover influenced d15N values.

Love in the Wild: What Drives Red Wolf Pairing Success Do opposites really attract? With Red Wolves, it just might be true. Our research partner Lovin, a graduate student at Utah State University advised by Dr. Julie Young, is helping uncover the answer.

Do opposites really attract?🐺❀️ With Red Wolves, it might be true. Our research partner Lovin (USU grad. advised by Dr. Julie Young) is studying mate compatibility and early findings suggest wolves with contrasting personalities may be more likely to have pups.
