Range expansions by generalists can alter communities and introduce competitive pressures on native species. In the Great Basin Desert, USA, coyotes (Canis latrans Say, 1823) have colonized and are now sympatric with native kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis Merriam, 1888). Since both species have similar diets, dietary partitioning may facilitate coexistence. We analyzed coyote and kit fox diets, then compared our results to an earlier study. Because populations are dynamic, we expected that decreases in prey or increases in predator abundance could alter dietary patterns. We found no significant changes in population-level prey diversity for kit foxes or coyotes, but found high levels of dietary overlap between species. We did detect a significant decrease in the relative importance of leporids (family Leporidae) in the diets of both canids, but they remained important for coyotes. The relative importance of small mammals was greater for kit foxes than coyotes, but their importance had not changed significantly over time. We detected significant declines in prey diversity per sample (scat-level dietary diversity) for both canids, suggesting that during a foraging event, individuals may encounter less diverse prey now than historically. These findings suggested that kit foxes and coyotes were not limited by prey, despite high dietary overlap.

Complete Observation

We observed a single adult male Coyote (Canis latrans) kill a Bison (Bison bison) calf in Yellowstone National Park. The predation is, to our knowledge, the only direct and complete observation of a lone Coyote capturing and killing a Bison calf. The bison calf had unsuccessfully attempted to ford a river with a group and subsequently become stranded alone in the territory of a six-year-old alpha male Coyote.

The Relationship

Total adult Oslerus osleri populations were recovered from all the tracheal and bronchial nodules present in 27 coyote carcasses from Saskatchewan, Canada. The parasites were sexed and counted. Twenty-one of 27 coyotes contained fewer than 10 nodules and 18 of the animals were infected with fewer than 50 parasites. One hundred of the total of 186 nodules contained fewer than five parasites. The relationship between the number of parasites (x) and the number of nodules (y) in individual coyotes was well described by the regression equation [Formula: see text]. This equation reflects a curvilinear relationship in which the rate of nodule formation decreases as parasite numbers increase above approximately 100.
