Identifier: NWRC 0034
Abstract
Over the years, the Mammal Damage Unit of the DWRC/NWRC conducted research on coyote predation on livestock; rodent damage to crops, rangeland, and buried cables; and damage to timber production and reforestation efforts caused by deer, bear, and rodents, particularly pocket gophers. The Unit also studied the use of pesticides as well as methods to identify and develop non-lethal or non-chemical alternative management methods for specific wildlife problems.

Utah Field Station Records---
Collection
Identifier: NWRC 0045
Abstract
The Utah Field Station was established in in 1972, in collaboration with Utah State University, as a research facility dedicated to the study of captive coyotes with a focus towards developing methods to reduce predator depredation on sheep. Over the last fifty years, research at the station has focused on coyote ecology, population mechanics, behavioral patterns, and predator-prey interactions. The site has also served as a preliminary testing facility for developing and improving...
