coexistence across space and time: social-ecological patterns within a decade of human-coyote interactions in San Francisco

Global change is increasing the frequency and severity of human-wildlife interactions by pushing people and wildlife into increasingly resource-limited shared spaces. To understand the dynamics of human-wildlife interactions, and what may constitute human-wildlife coexistence in the Anthropocene, there is a critical need to explore the spatial, temporal, sociocultural, and ecological variables that contribute to human-wildlife conflicts in urban areas.
Due to their opportunistic foraging and behavioral flexibility, coyotes (Canis latrans) frequently interact with people in urban environments. San Francisco, California, USA hosts a very high density of coyotes, making it an excellent region for analyzing urban human-coyote interactions and attitudes toward coyotes over time and space.
We used a community-curated long-term data source from San Francisco Animal Care and Control to summarize a decade of coyote sightings and human-coyote interactions in San Francisco and to characterize spat..., , , # Data from: coexistence across space and time: social-ecological patterns within a decade of human-coyote interactions in San Francisco

This is a cleaned, coded, and anonymized version of the community-curated San Francisco coyote sightings database, from January 2012-June 2022, as used in the *People and Nature* article entitled \"Coexistence across space and time: Social-ecological patterns within a decade of human-coyote interactions in San Francisco\".

## Description of the data and file structure

Please see the manuscript for more information regarding this dataset. For detailed coding information, see Table 2 of the published manuscript ([https://doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10549](https://doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10549). For example, \"conflict\" indicates any of the following: 1) Coyote(s) touching, following, stalking, chasing, or attacking a person, pet, or domestic animal; 2) Coyote(s) threatening (i.e., b...
