Registro del coyote (Carnivora: Canidae) en la Reserva la Biosfera de Calakmul, México

Researchers documented the first confirmed presence of coyotes (Canis latrans) in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, Mexico, marking a significant range expansion for this species into tropical regions. Using camera trapping from December 2018 to June 2019, three distinct photographs were captured in the reserve's core southern zone, providing empirical evidence of coyote activity in this UNESCO-listed site. The study highlights the adaptability of coyotes to diverse ecosystems and underscores the need for further monitoring to assess potential ecological impacts on native species.
