  • Northeastern Coyote/Coywolf Taxonomy and Admixture: a Meta-Analysis
    Way and Lynn Northeastern coyote taxonomy Copyright © 2016 by the IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Group. ISSN 1478-2677 Synthesis Northeastern coyote/coywolf taxonomy and admixture: A meta-analysis Jonathan G. Way1* and William S. Lynn2 1 Eastern Coyote Research, 89 Ebenezer Road, Osterville, MA 02655, USA. Email [email protected] 2 Marsh Institute, Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610, USA. 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.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

  • Newsletter #47 January – February 2017 for Tangens Alumni and Friends
    Newsletter #47 January – February 2017 For Tangens alumni and friends Coyote and dog attacks. I wrote about this in newsletters #31 and #32 in 2014. Since then I always walk dogs with stones in my back pack. I have not had to use the stones on coyotes since then, but I have used the stones a couple of times on approaching off-leash dogs, when yelling didn’t work (never hit one of course). No matter how “friendly” the owners claim the dogs are, they create a big problem if coming up to my pack, where all are on leash. Alex Carswell, owner of “Joey” (litter 08) recommended in #32 using a collapsible baton. I bought one, but I didn’t really manage it well enough. Recently, Joan Pleasant, owner of “Juju” (litter 09) wrote to recommend the Falcon Signal Horn Super Sound; lightweight, small, inexpensive, and can be attached to your belt or back pack. I will definitely buy one to try. An air horn like this can also be useful in other situations, including emergencies. I wonder though how the dogs you are trying to protect react to the super sound. I heard that it can be used to break up dog fights. Whippets in general don’t seem to be too sensitive to sounds, so hopefully they don’t get too scared if you use it for coyote attacks. On the topic of coyotes: I recently went to a presentation and book signing by the author of the book Coyote America. Coyotes are beautiful and interesting, even though they are also a nuisance.

Luna’s original composition, Stamping Grounds, was inspired by a time when he flew as an unaccompanied seven-year-old minor to and from the east coast to the west coast, between his mother and father, who lived on opposite shores. Soon after the September 11th attack on the USA, the composer developed a fear of flying. But, over time, he overcame this fear. In Stamping Grounds, Luna’s experience is represented by several layers that come in and out of the foreground. Luna explains that “the ones that remain consistent are representative of the part of the experience at UCLA where I am grounded in reality; namely, the autopilot sense when walking in deep thought.
