Linda Gormezano and Dr. Robert Rockwell
Coyotes are new to the
northeast forest. Understanding
the role of coyotes in our
suburban ecosystem - where it
how we approach living among
and managing their populations.
Our first questions: how many
are there and where do they
roam. Using non-invasive
methods of sampling coyotes,
including remote photography
and genetic sampling from feces
and hair, Linda intends to
estimate the abundance, spatial
distribution, and genetic
structure of the coyote
population in Northwest
Westchester.
