• Abstract:
  To better understand this dynamic in Northern California, a study was completed examining whether State Route 49 (SR 49), a road initially constructed during the Gold Rush era, acts as a barrier to movements of two similar species with different tolerances to human activity, the coyote and gray fox. This policy brief summarizes findings from that study and discusses the policy implications.
