Dan Flores's 2016 natural and cultural history of the coyote — tracing 5 million years of evolution and the coyote's survival of systematic government extermination campaigns — the best popular account of any North American predator.
Creates the coyote as a symbol of evolutionary resilience — Coyote America demonstrates that the U.S. government killed 6.5 million coyotes in the 20th century and the coyote population tripled in response; the book makes the coyote's adaptability to persecution a model for understanding evolutionary response to selection pressure.
No recorded contemporaries.
