The taxonomic status of coyotes (Canis latrans) and related wolf species, gray (Canis lupus), red (Canis rufus), and Eastern Canadian wolves (Canis lycaon), is under debate as to the proper classification of these species and the consequential conservation measurements. Coyotes found in Eastern North America (ENA) are hybrids of western coyotes and wolves, therefore, the line between wolves and coyote species in ENA have blurred. Researchers are unsure if the species found in ENA are to be considered a separate species, subspecies, or hybrids. A criterion to define these taxa is desperately needed, and until used and recognized by most authors, there will not be a clear understanding of the phylogenetic relationships between these taxa.
