摘要: Coyotes have expanded their historical distribution range because of anthropogenic activities and habitat transformation, where forests been considered marginal habitat. We tested the relationship between vegetation structure coyote abundance in different types. expected to find a higher open lands than thicker areas. used scent station surveys found that shrub layer seems be factor determining abundance, with use The represents an important conservation large carnivores.
