In the Eastern United States, melanistic coyotes are estimated to comprise 5-9% of the population.
“In the Eastern United States, melanistic coyotes are estimated to comprise 5-9% of the population (Gipson, 1976;Caudill & Caudill, 2015).”

Increased hybridization of coyotes on the East coast with domestic dogs and wolves may promote variation in pelage coloration.
“This may be due to the increased hybridization of coyotes on the East coast with domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and wolves (Canis lupus) promoting a variation in pelage coloration (Gipson, 1976;Anderson et al., 2009;Mowry & Edge, 2014;Caudill & Caudill, 2015;Hody & Kays, 2018).”

“Melanism was more common in C. rufus Audubon & Bachman (Red Wolf) populations, and the trait was once used to distinguish Red Wolves from Coyotes where the two species overlapped (Gipson 1976, Halloran 1958).”

“Melanistic coyotes are rare (Gipson, 1976; Wilson & Mittermeier, 2009) while albino and leucistic (e.g. partially depigmented) coyote reports are even scarcer (Johnston, 1930; Young, 1951; LópezGonzález, 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
