The results contribute new information to an ongoing controversy over whether the eastern wolf (Canis lycaon) is a valid uniq...
متن کاملGray Wolves as Climate Change Buffers in Yellowstone
Understanding the mechanisms by which climate and predation patterns by top predators co-vary to affect community structure accrues added importance as humans exert growing influence over both climate and regional predator assemblages. In Yellowstone National Park, winter conditions and reintroduced gray wolves (Canis lupus) together determine the availability of winter carrion on which numerou...
