Food Habits of Wolves in Relation to Livestock Depredations in Northwestern Minnesota
—Wolves (Canis lupus) have recolonized many areas of the Midwestern United States, prompting concern over the possible risk wolves may pose to livestock producers. To better understand the risks wolves may pose to livestock, we initiated a 3-y study examining the food habits of wolves in an agricultural area of northwestern Minnesota and their relation to depredation records of livestock losses...

Feeding habits of Grey sharpnose shark Rhizoprionodon oligolinx Springer, 1964 in coastal waters of eastern Hormozgan province from Bandar Sirik to Bandar Jask were studied by sampling 30 fish per month throughout one year. Mean values of fish total length and fish weight was 101.04 ± 4.09 cm and 1480.11 ± 94.71 g. The highest value of gastrosomatic index (GSI) was in spring and the lowest was ...
متن کاملSympatric wolf and coyote populations of the western Great Lakes region are reproductively isolated.
Interpretation of the genetic composition and taxonomic history of wolves in the western Great Lakes region (WGLR) of the United States has long been debated and has become more important to their conservation given the recent changes in their status under the Endangered Species Act. Currently, the two competing hypotheses on WGLR wolves are that they resulted from hybridization between (i) gre...
متن کاملLegacy lost : genetic variability and population size of extirpated US grey wolves ( Canis lupus ) JENNIFER
By the mid 20th century, the grey wolf ( Canis lupus ) was exterminated from most of the conterminous United States (cUS) and Mexico. However, because wolves disperse over long distances, extant populations in Canada and Alaska might have retained a substantial proportion of the genetic diversity once found in the cUS. We analysed mitochondrial DNA sequences of 34 pre-extermination wolves and f...
