Abstract

Introduction

Social bonds are fundamental and essential

  • Positive and negative effects

The stress system1 :

  • Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system
  • CRFR1 and CRFR2
  • Acts on the HPA axis, amygdala, and hippocampus

Genetic monogamy is common among coyotes

Importance:

  • Coyotes’ greatest threat are humans
  • An abandoned partner can disrupt biology and behavior

Animals experience social loss too!
