    It makes sense to me that new species would arise in places like city parks--they are small, relatively isolated populations. Just like islands, unique species tend to emerge. On another note, Eastern Coyotes aren't just in cities, they are ubiquitous throughout the Northeast. Our forested rural areas are pretty much completely staked out into various coyote pack territories. We hear them at night all the time. They are beautiful animals.

No idea if he poached bees or wasps, he just took a bee or two home and said "hey a zoo or collector would pay like one or two grand for a fertile female". At the time my dad was a dealer and an associate of a Vietnam vet biker gang and the bee guy knew my dad so I dont think hed be ballsy enough to steal from my dad. Hes old and reformed now but my dad used to be pretty rough and he was a fairly lean 220lb at the time. My area has had a few protected species show up on private land and then had the area basically shut down and my dad didnt want scientists or the government showing up so he just didn't tell anyone about the bees and just ignored the bees and kept running their hives over with the lawnmower.

    I'm confused about the Coywolf. In biology I was told that the think that defines a species is their ability to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. If that's the case and Coywolfs are fertile does that not mean Coyotes, Wolves, Dogs and Coywolfs are all just variations of the same species as the can interbreed with each other to produce fertile offspring?

    The distinction is fairly arbitrary. When you consider that every one of your ancestors going back a billion years was the same species as its parent, you can see that there's no sharp dividing line, at least that is until they become different enough to not mate and therefore be irreconcilably separate. The concept of a species is just a static construct we put onto a ridiculously complex tree of life that is always changing.

    You are right to be confused. Wolves and dogs are the same species. Coyotes are considered a different species, probably because we know a lot about them, and see many differences to wolves. Usually wolves are supposed to kill coyotes, not interbreed with them. If they don't interbreed under natural circumstances they would be considered different species. That's an addition to the classical definition you cited. But as the evidence shows, they do interbreed. Genetically they are also very similiar, having had common ancestors around 100 000 years ago. Most species differ by a 1 million years or more.

    I live in Montréal, Québec. We have coyotes in most of the nature parks of the city. They arrived there at least 30 years ago, but we don't know exactly when. Also, urban raccoon are splitting from those living in a more natural habitat, notably, by having a larger brain. Give them a few centuries, and they may become a whole new specie of raccoons.

I mean, I know you had one, but they aren't particularly special. They are the same as any other aneurysm, just located in the brain. So if anything, I would think they would do a video on aneurysms as a whole, not just aneurysms in brains alone.

    Had a coywolf as a pet when I was younger. There was a crazy coot that lived close by, and had a tendency to force breed these kind of things. He had many dangerous animals in pens, and was a bit unstable. One of the pups escaped we think, and we found her injured. She was timid but curious. We took her home and cleaned and fed her, healed her up. Turned out she had a massive thorn in her face causing a persistent wound. She became part of the family quickly. She was the smartest dog/thing we ever had. Could open doors, and was very adherent to pack structure, making her extremely obedient. She was also very friendly to everyone, neighbors and the like. She still retained much of her wild nature, and would hunt her own food most of the time. We lived in the county, surrounded by forested areas. She even tried to hunt/provide for the family, and on a hike, she dropped a squirrel in front of my mother. Not a mark on it, she crushed it's ribs but did not leave any teeth marks. Freaked my mother out, and when my mother threw it away, it made the dog sad. She never hunted for the family again. My mother felt bad and had wished she had the foresight to dispose of the squirrel out of sight of the dog. She was a great dog, and she lived to be 17yo, I think the move into town when she was around 14 was worse on her than actual age. As she had to be confined to a fenced yard.

    Jose Leon I think he means that we don't know if they really are a different species or a distantly related sub-species with lots of mutations, what they described could be true for distantly related sub-species, surely? it's a question from someone who wants to learn mor about the process

    +Jose Leon How many mutations is enough to mean full speciation and why do the minor differences indicate full speciation instead of a different phenotype or subspecies, and the same for the calls? Especially considering they appear to interbreed if I'm reading the paper right. I'm just skeptical that these should be called full species. I know the herpetology community and right now splitting species, and taxonomic upheaval is very popular. And all of these claims are based on absolutely no standard to determine that something is a full species. I am honestly curious about how "species" is being defined here. When did the evidence pile up to be enough to move the frog across the threshold of subspecies to full species? if you over classify things as separate species it can actually hurt conservation work and science. Here's a paper on the effects of over-classification. sysbio.oxfordjournals.org/content/62/3/490.full.pdf+html

    In AP biology we learned that species were defined by if they could breed together and if they were able to breed their off spring have to be fertile. I'm not sure if this is the current or exact definition because it was just AP bio but I think in most cases it works

    If we're being technical, the reason microsatellites differ isn't that they inherently mutate more, it's moreso that since they don't code for proteins, a mutation is less likely to be deleterious. Since a mutation in the satellites isn't selected against, they tend to accumulate more quickly, but the actual occurrence of mutations isn't any higher in micro satellites.

    Coywolves exist where I live. We just call them coyotes, but they're larger than coyotes, hunt in packs, and don't mind living near people. They're a threat to livestock, moreso than coyotes. I worked on a sheep farm, we once lost four ewes in an evening, and one ewe was grabbed as she was running into the barn. They have very little fear.
