Here reprinted, this is a classic of the canid literature.
Originally published in 1978, Coyotes: Biology, Behavior and
Management pulled together much disparate research in coyote
evolution, taxonomy, reproduction, communication, behavioral
development, population dynamics, ethology and ecological studies
in the Southwest, Minnesota, Iowa, New England and Wyoming as well
as studies on livestock damage and research on other canids. "At
its best in those chapters that draw together widely dispersed
information." Science 202, pp. 424 "The book presents an abundance
of useful tabular material and cites a great majority of the most
significant literature. It is a work that no serious student of the
subject can afford to be without." BioScience 29, pp. 312 "A most
welcome comprehensive review of coyote research and an introduction
to the far-flung literature." Journal of Mammalogy, 60, pp. 658 "I
recommend this book to everyone interested in coyotes and the
current controversies surrounding this extremely successful
predator. A thorough understanding of this animal is crucial and
this book is surely a step in the right direction." J. Wildlife
