More pondering. Was thinking the other day. Perhaps some breeding female coyote's are gentically set-up to "always" have [large] litters or constantly [small] ones. Regardless of local prey pop, or other external factors.
Say, this is true for example[bare with me, for a moment]. Someone or something, takes out the local alpha high pup-count breeding female.
Next in-line is a "constant" low pup-count breeding, female. The following yrs could show low coyote pop. Until another high pup-count breeder come into an area.
