Covariates include cover attributes, movement parameters, and distance to the nearest mountain lion. The following are provided for each predictor: beta coefficient (β), robust standard error estimate (SE), z‐score (z), p‐value (p). Coyote and mountain lion location data collected during May 2017–September 2020 in southwestern Wyoming, USA. Boldface indicates variables where p < .05.
