Way, J. G. 2012. Love wolves and hate coyotes? A conundrum for canid enthusiasts. International Wolf 22(4, winter): 8-11.

 This is a popular (not peer reviewed) article summarizing my (and others) feelings on why society treats wolves so much differently than coyotes.

Jonathan Way, Ph.D., has a B.S. (UMass Amherst), M.S. (UConn Storrs), and doctorate (Boston College) related to the study of eastern coyotes/coywolves. He is the author of Suburban Howls, an account of his experiences studying eastern coyotes in Massachusetts. Jon is seeking an institution that will support him and his goals for long-term ecological research. He runs an organization Eastern Coyote Research, works seasonally for Cape Cod National Seashore, is a part time post-doctoral researcher with the Yellowstone Ecological Research Center, frequently travels to the Yellowstone area, and is looking for a publisher for two completed book projects: My Yellowstone Experience and Coywolf.
