Thank you @amandabartlett.bsky.social and @sfgate.com for this wonderful piece about my recently published research on San Francisco #coyotes. Read it to learn more about how studying the diet of urban animals can help us learn to better coexist with them 🐾

"But the staggering majority — 72 of them — were found dead, with vehicle strikes serving as the leading cause of mortality in 94.4% of that group." via @amandabartlett.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

📢I’m excited to share that my second dissertation chapter has now been published in Ecology Letters! We used stable isotope analysis to examine if urbanization influences individual dietary specialization 🧪 🧵 Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/ele.... #OpenAccess #UrbanEcology #UrbanWildlife

Urbanisation Facilitates Intrapopulation Dietary Niche Diversity in a Generalist Carnivore

We compared stable isotope profiles of urban and nonurban coyote populations to test whether urbanisation fosters niche diversification among individuals. Urban coyotes had narrower dietary niches an...

I'm just going to keep telling you to look at our zine because this shit is cute and maybe you'd want to make one for your city too 👀

We're celebrating Earth Day 2025 by releasing The Philly Biodiversity Zine! 6 Philly artists collaborated to put together a cute, bright, educational zine all about how we can support the wildlife we share Philly with. We're distributing 3000 copies across the city!

🧵🐺🧬 An important point is getting lost in the discussion abt today's "deextinction" news: Colossal is not just claiming to have created something akin to a dire wolf. They claim they've made new/unpublished genetic discoveries that would rewrite our understanding of dire wolf evolution & anatomy 🧪

We are excited to share that we have THREE incredible plenary speakers presenting at #IUWC2025 this year! They will give talks that fit with our theme of Urban Reflections: What We’ve Learned About Nature, Our Communities and Ourselves. Stay tuned as we announce our speakers over the next few days 👀

Thanks so much to Lila for this LA Times article about our new publication about social-ecological influences on coyote movement in Los Angeles! 🧪🌎🏙️ Check out the publication here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Environmental Health and Societal Wealth Predict Movement Patterns of an Urban Carnivore

Using GPS collar data from coyotes (Canis latrans) in Los Angeles, California, we show that movement models with societal covariates outperform those considering only linear infrastructure and ecolog....

Contrary to their hypothesis, researchers found that L.A. coyotes appear not to prefer wealthy areas. Why? A new study suggests residents in affluent areas may be more likely to pay to kill them. The authors wondered if they were aware of the threat. www.latimes.com/environment/...
