Wolf-cattle Interactions in the Northern Rocky Mountains
Since gray wolf reintroduction in 1995, wolf populations in the northern Rocky Mountains have increased dramatically. Incidents of wolf predation on livestock have increased with wolf populations. Although rough tallies of livestock death or injury losses caused by wolf predation are made each year, we know almost nothing about the indirect effects of wolf-livestock interactions on cattle produ...
متن کاملModeling Gray Wolf Habitat in the Northern Rocky Mountains by Michael E. Houts
The reintroduction of the gray wolf into the Northern Rocky Mountains has created many difficult management issues; ranchers fear for their livestock, hunters worry about game populations, ecologists and biologists support the reintroduction, and resource management agencies are caught in the middle. To date (2000), the one hundred plus wolves in the Yellowstone National Park area and approxima...
متن کاملLee-side Frontogenesis in the Rocky Mountains
The development and motion of fronts associated with lee-side troughs on large mountain barriers has been investigated. These fronts differ from ordinary cold fronts in their horizontal temperature field, which is characterized by a sinusoidal thermal ridge. The thermal ridge intensifies, while remaining stationary with respect to the mountains, and moves eastward upon the approach of a Pacific...
متن کاملPopulation Ecology Wolf Population Dynamics in the U.S. Northern Rocky Mountains Are Affected by Recruitment and Human-Caused Mortality
Reliable analyses can help wildlife managers make good decisions, which are particularly critical for controversial decisions such as wolf (Canis lupus) harvest. Creel and Rotella (2010) recently predicted substantial population declines in Montana wolf populations due to harvest, in contrast to predictions made by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP). We replicated their analyses considerin...
متن کاملWood dynamics in headwater streams of the Colorado Rocky Mountains
[1] An 11-year monitoring study begun in 1996 evaluates wood mobility in five Colorado Rocky Mountain streams. Each channel reach is 40–70 m in length. Initial surveys included channel dimensions and arrangement of each piece of wood. Annual resurveys focused on wood arrangement and persistence. Average diameter of 15 cm and length of 3.2 m varied little among sites. Average yearly mobility ran...
