title: Coyote control and taste aversion.
abstract: Studies in which conditioned taste aversion was used as a non-lethal method to suppress coyote predation are reviewed in light of the controversy that surrounds such research. It is concluded that the negative results obtained to date may have been due to theoretical and methodological problems in the studies. Uncritical acceptance of those results has slowed progress on an effective and inexpensive method of coyote management.
