The grey wolf (Canis lupus) is one of the most widely distributed terrestrial mammals, and its distribution and ecology in Europe and North America are largely well described. However, the distribution of grey wolf in southern China is still highly controversial. Several well-known western literatures stated that there are no grey wolves in southern China, while the presence of grey wolf across...

disrupt their society and destabilise their packs. Packs may split into smaller packs made up of younger animals, with a greater influx of unrelated individuals.

Papua New Guinea, with its heavy dependence on natural resources, limited economic development in the past two decades, poor record of governance and high-profile separatist conflicts such as the Bougainville civil war, appears to be an exemplar of the ‘Resource Curse’ theory – the notion that natural resources actively undermine economic development. Using a number of examples from a range of ...

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...

BACKGROUND Reestablishment of apex predators influences the availability and distribution of biomass for scavengers and can therefore be an important agent for structuring species communities. We studied how the re-colonization of the Scandinavian Peninsula by wolves (Canis lupus) affected the amount and temporal variation in use of moose (Alces alces) carcasses. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING...
