Northeastern Coyote/Coywolf Taxonomy and Admixture: a Meta-Analysis

Email [email protected] * Correspondence author Keywords: Canis latrans, Canis lycaon, Canis lupus, Canis oriens, cladogamy, coyote, coywolf, eastern coyote, eastern wolf, hybridisation, meta-analysis, northeastern coyote, wolf. Abstract A flurry of recent papers have attempted to taxonomically characterise eastern canids, mainly grey wolves Canis lupus, eastern wolves Canis lycaon or Canis lupus lycaon and northeastern coyotes or coywolves Canis latrans, Canis latrans var. or Canis latrans x C. lycaon, in northeastern North America. In this paper, we performed a meta-analysis on northeastern coyote taxonomy by comparing results across studies to synthesise what is known about genetic admixture and taxonomy of this animal. Hybridisation or cladogamy (the crossing between any given clades) be- tween coyotes, wolves and domestic dogs created the northeastern coyote, but the animal now has little genetic in- put from its parental species across the majority of its northeastern North American (e.g. the New England states) range except in areas where they overlap, such as southeastern Canada, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the mid- Atlantic area. The northeastern coyote has roughly 60% genetic influence from coyote, 30% wolf and 10% domestic dog Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris. There is still disagreement about the amount of eastern wolf versus grey wolf in its genome, and additional SNP genotyping needs to sample known eastern wolves from Algonquin Pro- vincial Park, Ontario to verify this.

A Sex Worker Rights and Anti-Trafficking Initiative
ANTI-TRAFFICKING REVIEW 12 (2019): 140-154 The ‘Prioritizing Safety for Sex Workers Policy’: A sex worker rights and anti-trafficking initiative Alexandra Lutnick Abstract This article presents a case study of how sex worker and anti-trafficking organisations and activists in San Francisco, California, worked together to develop and pass the ‘Prioritizing Safety for Sex Workers Policy’. This policy, as enacted by the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office and the San Francisco Police Department, creates a legal environment where people can come forward and report to law enforcement when they are a victim of or witness to an array of violent crimes while engaged in sex work, and not be arrested or prosecuted for their involvement in that criminalised behaviour or for any misdemeanour drug offences. The article details how the groups came together and the challenges they faced while developing the policy. The work was fuelled by the recognition that no one wants people in the sex industry to experience violence. That is true whether selling sex is their choice, influenced by their life circumstances, or something they are being forced or coerced to do. The Prioritizing Safety for Sex Workers Policy is a unique example of the way in which sex workers, people who have experienced trafficking, service providers, activists, women’s rights policymakers, the police department, and the District Attorney’s office came together around a common goal. Keywords: sex work, human trafficking, policy, coalitions, violence, crime victim Suggested citation: A Lutnick, ‘The “Prioritizing Safety for Sex Workers Policy”: A sex worker rights and anti-trafficking initiative’, Anti-Trafficking Review, issue 12, 2019, pp.

Coyote Hazing GUIDELINES How to Haze for Effective Reshaping of Coyote Behavior
Coyote Hazing GUIDELINES How to Haze for Effective Reshaping of Coyote Behavior Generally, coyotes are reclusive animals who avoid human contact. Coyotes who’ve adapted to urban and suburban environments, however, may realize there are few real threats and approach people or feel safe CHARLES WOOD visiting yards even when people are present. These coyotes have become habituated (lost their fear of humans), likely due to the ready availability of food in our neighborhoods. Sometimes, this food is deliberately provided by people who like to watch wild animals or misguidedly feel they are helping them by offering food. These bold coyotes should not be tolerated or enticed, but given the message that they should not be so brazen. Hazing is a method that uses deterrents to move an animal out of an area or discourages an undesirable behavior or activity. Hazing can help maintain coyotes’ fear of humans and deter them from neighborhood spaces such as backyards and playgrounds. HAZING METHODS REMEMBER… Using a variety of different hazing tools is critical because coyotes can habituate to individual items, sounds, and actions. u NEVER run away from a coyote! u If the coyote doesn’t leave at first, u Yell and wave your arms while approaching the coyote. continue approaching him and/or u Use noisemakers (e.g. your voice, whistles, air horns, bells, soda cans increase the intensity of your hazing until he runs away. If he runs a short filled with pennies or dead batteries, pots and pans banged together). distance away and then stops and u Use projectiles (e.g.

Público: Profesores de 2º de ESO (Sección bilingüe). Materia: Inglés Avanzado. Idioma: Inglés. Title: The charming world of tall tales. Abstract The study of American tall tales of the Wild West gives a thorough understanding of the social and psychological structure of a whole nation. These legends, where exaggeration and humour are central to the story, help forge the character of a nation and explain the origin of landmarks in American history. Human beings have always felt the need to make sense of the world around them and tall tales have helped to entertain those men and women who tried to build a better future crossing a hostile land in search of the American dream. Keywords: Tall tales, hyperbole, American frontier, Wild West, Paul Bunyan, John Henry, Calamity Jane, Pecos Bill Título: Leyendas americanas. Resumen El estudio de las leyendas americanas del lejano oeste promueve una comprensión clara y profunda de la estructura psicológica y social de toda una nación. Estas narraciones de carácter fantástico, en las que la exageración y el humor constituyen el eje central de la historia, permiten forjar el carácter de un pueblo y explicar el origen de lugares emblemáticos de la geografía americana. El ser humano ha tenido siempre la necesidad de dar sentido al mundo que le rodeaba. Las leyendas americanas han servido de entretenimiento a hombres y mujeres que intentaron labrarse un futuro en busca del sueño americano.

Relationships Between Brown Bears and Chum Salmon at Mcneil River
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BROWN BEARS AND CHUM SALMON AT MCNEIL RIVER, ALASKA By Joshua M. Peirce RECOMMENDED: Advisory Committee Co-Chair Advisory Committee Co-Chair Assistant Chair, Department of Biology and Wildlife APPROVED: Dean, College of Natural Science and Mathematics Dean of the Graduate School Date RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BROWN BEARS AND CHUM SALMON AT MCNEIL RIVER, ALASKA A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Joshua M. Peirce, B.S. Fairbanks, Alaska August 2007 iii Abstract Since 1967, the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary (MRSGS) has been managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to “provide permanent protection for brown bears”. Up to 144 bears have been identified in a summer at MRSGS, and 72 bears at once have been observed in the vicinity of McNeil Falls. In this study, 155 chum salmon were radio tagged as they entered McNeil River and monitored daily. In 2005 and 2006 bears killed 48% of pre-spawning tagged chum salmon and consumed 99% of all tagged chums below McNeil Falls where most of the run occurs. A retrospective analysis of 31 years of run data using a new stream life, and a correction for observer efficiency, revealed that the current escapement goal of 13,750-25,750 actually represents 34,375- 64,375 chum salmon. Considering the large removal of pre-spawning chum salmon, I recommend an additional 23,000 chum salmon be added to the escapement goal. Additionally, an annual escapement of 4,000-6,000 chum salmon above McNeil Falls should be set as an objective.

Coyotes, Look Christine to Their Wolf Relatives Schadler
To understand By Eastern coyotes, look Christine to their wolf relatives Schadler housands of Eastern coyotes live among us – rarely seen, often heard and frequently discussed. Some T people resent the presence of coyotes and fear them as predators of pets, livestock and game animals. Others admire their resilience, and are thrilled to hear their return- to-the-wild howl and all it represents. In short, the coyote is a topic of contention. The Eastern coyote (Canis latrans var.) and the Eastern wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) are closely related and similar enough in appearance that it can be hard to distinguish them. Yet coyotes are abundant throughout their range in the face of liberal hunting and trapping seasons, while the wolf is protected by the Endangered Species Act. The answer to this dichotomy lies in the apparent vulnerability of the wolf and the undeniable success of the coyote. Susceptible to overhunting and habitat loss, wolves in the lower 48 were nearly eradicated over a century ago. Today, wolves roam through- out the West and the Great Lake states, saved by protection and reintroductions. The coyote’s success, on the other hand, has created a public relations night- mare for itself. Despite over a century of relentless persecution, coyotes have thwarted every effort at control and have expanded their range into the densely settled East Coast. Studies show that where coyote bounties (paying hunters to kill coyotes), open hunting seasons, poisoning, snaring and other control measures have been attempted, success varies depending on scale. Nationwide, there are tens of 8 November/December 2010 • WILDLIFE JOURNAL O T PHO S AM AD AY AY NDS © LI WILDLIFEILDLIFE JJOURNAL •• November/December 2010 9 Wolf or Coyote?
