  1. Predictors were obtained from the top-ranking models (ΔAICc < 2; Additional file 1: Table S4). Coyote home ranges were estimated by calculating and plotting 95% minimum convex polygons (MCPs). Results using 95% adaptive local convex hulls (a-LoCoH) are summarized in Additional file 1: Table S4 and S5)
  2. SE is the standard error, Pr(> |z|) the P-value associated with the z statistic, and mean OR the mean odds ratio
