Nobody said evolution took place in a bucket in a cooler. If you read the article you can see that. The bucket in the cooler is the control population.

As to how coyotes “know” the answer is that they clearly don’t know. However once their diet enriches then different genes are allowed to express that otherwise might not have. It’s similar to the reasons that female gymnasts don’t get pregnant even without birth control. After they stop their training and gain body fat, voila, they too can get pregnant.
