Welcome to my web site: Eastern Coyote/Coywolf Research (ECR). This website was re-constructed September 2010 after my original host (Liberty Names of America, starting July 2007) went out of business July 2010 and never transferred my files to my new host, Choice Host. I have created this new site to replace my old web page from Boston College in order to keep you informed about my eastern coyote (or coywolf) research. In addition, I have added an on-line store to this web page, something I cannot legally do on a university website.
If you are confused as to why coywolf is in the title with eastern coyote, please see this peer reviewed publication or go to my publications page to learn how the eastern coyote is really a hybrid between western coyotes and eastern/red wolves. I do not believe it is accurate to call them coyotes when their DNA (throughout northeastern North America) is composed of both eastern wolf and western coyote genes.
Please consider donating to ECR which will help support my expenses:
The focus of this webpage will center on my new book Suburban Howls (and research conducted after), as my old web site has much of the information contained in the formative years of my research. Although this website can be viewed in all browsers (e.g., Firefox, Google) I seem to get the best format in Internet Explorer because that is what I update the website with.
Mission of ECR
The mission of Eastern Coyote/Coywolf Research is to promote the appreciation and acceptance of this creature throughout its range in Northeastern North America through sound science and public education.
Contact information
Please note that I am very busy between working and conducting research related to this webpage. Thus, I simply do not have the capacity to help students with reports (although this is a very important topic) or to answer your every question about coyotes/coywolves. The reason why I have written Suburban Howls and made this web page available is for you to obtain accurate information on my favorite animal to use accordingly. I will leave the web-blogs and personal opinions (although I certainly do have my own opinions, especially about coyote/coywolf management) to other folks to discuss.
Biographical sketch
Jonathan Way is the author of Suburban Howls, an account of his experiences studying eastern coyotes/coywolves in eastern Massachusetts. He also has a business Eastern Coyote Research (www.EasternCoyoteResearch.com) and is currently seeking an institution that will support him and his research. He currently works seasonally for Cape Cod National Seashore, is a part time post-doctoral researcher with the Yellowstone Ecological Research Center, and is a frequent traveler to the Yellowstone area. He is currently seeking a publisher for 2 different book projects: “My Yellowstone Experience” (see www.coywolf.org) and “Coywolf”, both of which are nearly completed including with pictures.
