- •
Wolves and other canids pose major conservation and management challenges.
- •
Howling is an important behaviour for all canid species.
- •
We analysed over 2000 howls from 13 species and subspecies of wolves, coyotes, etc.
- •
Quantitative methods showed different species use different patterns of howl types.
- •
Understanding howl type usage is important both for conservation and management.
