摘要: We studied the dynamics of a wolf (Canis lupus) population recovering from intensive reduction in Finlayson Lake area, Yukon, Canada. Within 6 years, numbers increased 29 wolves, then stabilized at 245. The colonization vacant territories by young pairs was primary mechanism early recovery. Reproduction and low dispersal rate pack size later splitting allowed dispersing wolves to remain near natal packs. increase density-dependent related density, but also rate. density-independent mean prey biomass : index. survival age-dependent not density. In years recovery, supported high rates rates. increased, stabilizing Wolf density leve...
