Creature Feature: Coyote Coyotes (Canis latrans) are one of North America’s most iconic tricksters. Their species name, which means “barking dog” in Latin, might come from their nighttime vocalizing. They’ve had a powerful…

Coyotes often appear as tricksters in Native American folklore. They are also one of the few monogamous mammal species, and have adapted to life in cities. To learn more, check out Rebecka Halfen's article!

Chernobyl dogs carry unexpected genetic characteristics Scientists discover genetic differences in Chernobyl dogs and explain how radiation and toxins influence their evolution and survival.

When people hear “Chernobyl,” they often think of the 1986 nuclear disaster that led to mass evacuations. Yet, the region remains home to diverse wildlife, including dogs that have become a focus of genetic research.
