Coyote Ecology
Coyotes are a mid-sized member of the dog family that are omnivorous, eating a variety of animals and plants. They are highly adaptable in both diet and behavior, and they have expanded their geographic range across all of North America. Coyotes are relatively "new" to Ohio (in terms of their evolutionary history), so understanding their ecology and behavior is important for us to understand long-term impacts on native species, domesticated species, and human populations.
