Although detrimental genetic processes are known to adversely affect the viability of populations, little is known about how detrimental genetic processes in a keystone species can affect the functioning of ecosystems. Here, we assessed how changes in the genetic characteristics … read more

Anthropogenic linear features allow wolves to travel faster and more efficiently, which is thought to increase wolf hunting efficiency of ungulates. Most previous studies have evaluated the role of linear features in wolf-ungulate dynamics by relying on indirect observations (e.g., … read more

Through global positioning system (GPS) collar locations, remote cameras, field observations and the first wild wolf to be GPScollared with a camera collar, we describe when, where and how wolves fish in a freshwater ecosystem. From 2017 to 2021, we … read more

This document provides a review of the current state of scientific knowledge pertaining to wolves, wolf related issues, and wolf-management options in Michigan. It summarizes the best available biological and social science relevant to these topics, identifying where significant uncertainty … read more

Transboundary movement of wildlife results in some of the most complicated and unresolved wildlife management issues across the globe. Depending on the location and managing agency, gray wolf (Canis lupus) management in the US ranges from preservation to limited hunting … read more
