Wolf Predation and Unǵulate Populations

摘要: Studies of the interaction wolves and their prey during past twenty years have demonstrated that ungulates are primary both in winter summer predation tends to be concentrated on young year while it is animals older-age classes. There appears intrinsic control wolf numbers there evidence which suggests a per 10 square miles may approach maximum density attainable most ranges. The adaptations between predators evolved relatively stable forest environments could not support high-density populations. This explain why do appear capable controlling moose deer populations been drastically altered by man.
