Abstract
Wildlife managers conducting situation analyses typically turn to key informants to gain insight into community experiences and opinions. Although expedient, relying only on informants has shortcomings. We examined informants as potential sources of information about community residents with respect to human–coyote issues in Westchester County, New York. We employed a mixed-method approach that included both interviews with informants (n = 40) and a telephone survey of residents (n = 1,160). Although we found agreement on some measures, disparities between key informants' and residents' perceptions of coyotes in the community were revealed, suggesting caution about reliance on informants to guide management decisions. This study highlights the value of multiple data sources to improve insight and increase confidence in efforts to assess community perspectives regarding suburban wildlife issues.
