Coyotes Canis latrans have expanded their geographic range by 40% in the last 120 years,
raising questions about their ecological impacts in the newly colonised areas. Despite a …

The process of dog domestication likely involved at least two functional stages. The initial
stage occurred when subpopulations of wolves became synanthropes, benefiting from life …

Individual differences in personality types within the same species have been studied much
less than differences between species and populations. Personality differences are related …

Humans have altered up to half of the world's land surface. Wildlife living within or close to
these human-modified landscapes are presented with opportunities and risks associated …

With novel human–wildlife interaction, predation regimes, and environmental conditions, in
addition to often fragmented and smaller populations, urban areas present wildlife with …

Although we know that dogs evolved from wolves, it remains unclear how domestication
affected dog cognition. One hypothesis suggests dog domestication altered social …

Global change is increasing the frequency and severity of human‐wildlife interactions by
pushing people and wildlife into increasingly resource‐limited shared spaces. To …

Urbanization represents a dramatic form of evolutionary novelty in the landscapes inhabited
by many extant animals. The Cognitive Buffer Hypothesis suggests that innovation, the …

In this review, we propose that the social dynamics of founder populations in novel and
newly available environments can have critical effects in shaping species' sociality and can …

Urbanization imposes novel challenges for wildlife, but also provides new opportunities for
exploitation. Generalist species are commonly found in urban habitats, but the cognitive …
