Our WCC-IECL team uses scent lures at camera sites to keep wildlife in view. Two cameras capture unique angles, helping ID animals and observe behaviors. 🐾

Reposting an interesting paper. We also ran into this using isotopes to assess coyote diets. We found a canopy effect on d13C values indicating enrichment was influenced more by land cover features and less by use of human foods. Agricultural cover influenced d15N values.
