Yellowstone sit at the core of a larger population connected throughout the Greater Yellowstone
Ecosystem. First edition. The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, USA. According to
Yellowstone biologist Doug Smith, the Yellowstone herds remain healthy despite its smaller size.
While the wolves had to come in contact with people to be captured and transported, contact was
minimal once they were placed in the acclimation pens. While their diet usually consists of large
hooved animals, Yellowstone’s gray wolves will also eat rabbits, weasels, badgers, foxes, and other
small mammals. However, stem growth rates naturally declined with age, and the decline we
observed was coincident with faster growth rates for the youngest stems. Mean stem heights at age
have remained relatively stable through time for most age classes. Gray wolves adapt easily to
different types of habitats, making changes in precipitation, temperature, and snowpack less extreme
for gray wolves. Since wolf pups normally stay underground for their first three to five weeks, the
earliest counts are often of two- to three-months-old pups. Herbivory by elk, with their numbers
affected by wolves, was one of the predictors of willow regeneration. However, this still allows the
benefits to the ecosystem within Yellowstone to benefit. In August 2013, wolf 820F, ’06’s two-year-
old daughter, left the pack under hostile pressure from her older sisters. That ratio reversed from
2001 to 2007, indicating changes in prey vulnerability and availability. Their entirely legal deaths
played out publicly and created public outrage. Hamlin, and Fred G. R. Watson Box 14.2 Ecology of
Fear Daniel R. Dams disintegrated, turning marshy ponds into streams. Massive loss of mature
willows and aspens. In addition, it means that the running of Yellowstone is more likely to continue,
not that it was ever likely to close. Gaps indicate periods of no visual observations of the pups. Gray
wolves have long, bushy tails that are often black-tipped. And so now 755M, the alpha male, a great
hunter with the most social experience, went looking for a mate. Marci Allen. Yellowstone.
Yellowstone National Park has a variety of elements that were discussed in class Not only is it a hot
spot, as mentioned, but it is the home to volcanoes, earthquakes, hot pots, and wild fires. Solid lines
represent periods of confirmed sightings. Observers recorded the Prospect Peak pack successfully
hunting a female and calf bison in late November, a behavior rarely recorded on the Northern Range.
Enjoys hiking, camping, climbing, paddling, and exploring. The reintroduction program provided a
unique opportunity for scientists to observe the changes that occur when a keystone species is
brought back to an area after being gone for such a long time. The park helps ensure the species’
long-term viability in GYE and has provided a place for research on how wolves may affect many
aspects of the ecosystem. The pack survives without its matriarch, but the loss of an alpha is always
devastating. Three males dispersed to the Wapiti Lake pack over the summer. With numbers going
down from hunts and protections gone, wolf recovery that is broadly supported by a strong majority
of the American public, has cost taxpayers millions, benefits ecosystems, and is a tremendous
Endangered Species Act success story will be flushed down the drain. In 1995—through use of the
Endangered Species Act—the conservation community reintroduced the gray wolf to restore balance.
Occupying just 10 percent of the park, it is winter range for the biggest elk herd in Yellowstone and
is arguably the most carnivore-rich area in North America. Luke Ornsby Rand goes on a wild

may be more susceptible to changes caused by climate change. The Druid grey wolf pack trot across
the snow filled Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park. However, in recent years this view has
begun changing. It is unknown where the Bechler pack travels during the winter, but this was the
first reliable count in years. Visitor education is important to help keep wolves wild and wary of
humans. They efficiently hunt large prey that other predators cannot usually kill. Changes in wolf
predation patterns and impacts on prey species like elk are inextricably linked to other factors, such
as other predators, management of ungulates outside the park, and weather (e.g. drought, winter
severity). Photo: Getty In recent years, with a lack of snowy winters in Yellowstone, wolves have
actually become the primary cause for elk mortality. Photo: Getty The reintroduction of the wolves
was part of a larger Northern Rocky Mountain wolf program, which also saw wolves reintroduced to
central Idaho and enforced protection around recovering wolf populations in Montana. Elk, with
little to nothing to fear, began to stay around open planes and river sides as they did not need to seek
cover in thick vegetation. Several subordinate wolves formed a splinter group during the fall and
winter, but by December were mostly with the main group again. Beaver populations are slowly
returning to the park and the streams are becoming winding and meandering once again. This
selection can be done as a whole class (i.e. focusing on one species as a class), or in small groups (i.e.
each group focuses on their own species). The third one looked very much like 763M?, but wasn’t
collared). However, elk populations are now more dynamic with the return of large carnivores and
elk distribution has shifted to areas of refuge which make them more difficult to hunt. But pack
dynamics had shifted in his absence, so what he returned to was actually partly his old pack with
some new wolves. In July, three males from the Mollie’s pack began to interact with the females and
pups, leading 755M to avoid the area. Gray wolves have long, bushy tails that are often black-tipped.
Each informational text comes with comprehension questions. The students really enjoyed it and it
covered all the things that I needed. When apex predators limit the density or change the behavior of
their prey, the food source of their prey changes as well. Smith hopes that Wolf Project research can
help replace common misconceptions about wolves with factual information. Wolves in Yellowstone
sit at the core of a larger population connected throughout the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The
decision was previously defeated in court because climate changes had reduced whitebark pines,
which bears depend upon for food. Officials are now asking local residents for assistance with the
matter. As beavers spread, dammed and built ponds, the trees thrived, and cold, shaded water
returned to accommodate fish.

required by law to restore endangered species where possible, but this plan was delayed for decades
in the case of wolves. Since wolf pups normally stay underground for their first three to five weeks,
the earliest counts are often of two- to three-months-old pups. A collaborative effort to investigate
the successes and failures of the re-introduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park and the
lessons to be drawn, its contributions are authored by nearly eighty scientists and scholars, featuring
a foreword by Jane Goodall. The basic purpose of applying Wolves In Yellowstone Student
Worksheet Answers is to provide a concrete experience for students. Since in the Scholar Worksheet
about 90% of the articles of the complete book are issues, equally multiple selection and solution

territories primarily in YNP were legally harvested in Montana while outside the park boundary.
Willows had greatest height growth rates, hence a greater ability to escape the “browse trap”6, if
they were in parts of the landscape where moisture was least likely to be limiting, and there were
episodes of willow recruitment that resulted from a series of years with above-average precipitation.
It is not to be used for sale or profit of any kind. A clear example of this is in the western United
States where grey wolves were hunted to extinction by 1960 because of perceived threats to
livestock. This left the Lamar Canyon pack unstable and leaderless. Wolves have direct effects by
competing with another predator (coyote) and by preying upon elk, which are abundant in the Park. I
suspect that much of the book’s narrative was developed before live audiences. We don’t guarantee

herbivore species in the area. January 12, 2020, marked the 25th anniversary since wolves returned to
Yellowstone. Perhaps, not enough heed was paid to the words of the Scottish-American
conservationist John Muir, the “Father of the National Parks”, when he wrote that “when we try to
pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else.” Buffalos grazing at Hayden Valley
in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Geological Origins. It is believed that a hotspot in the upper

hotspot. The population decline is thought to be from poor pup survival. MacNulty, eds. Yellowstone
Wolves: Science and Discovery in the World’s First National Park (University of Chicago Press,
2020), pp. We studied riparian willow (Salix spp.) establishment and stem growth reconstructed
from tree rings on the northern range of Yellowstone over a 30-year period that included the
reintroduction of a top predator, the grey wolf (Canis lupus). In July, three males from the Mollie’s
pack began to interact with the females and pups, leading 755M to avoid the area. Photo: Getty
Since westward expansion first brought settlers and their livestock into contact with apex predators
in the 1800s, wolves had been villainised. With the willows came a variety of species, from beavers (
Castor canadensis ) to yellow warblers ( Dendroica pet echia ), that relied on riparian vegetation. “It
was all in the packet,” Boyce said. It was found that the K-locus gene is involved in immune
function in addition to causing black coat color, suggesting an additional role in pathogen defense. To
make the transition more effective, three acclimation pens were built to house the wolves for several
weeks. Top-down effects of ungulates on riparian woody vegetation must be considered in the
context of plant age, and climate and landscape heterogeneity. The rise in population was thought to
be due to high adult survival and several packs producing multiple litters. She is passionate about
helping others gain an appreciation of nature and the knowledge to get outside and experience new
adventures.
This period excludes delivery times, which depend on your geographic location. Learn how to
adventure through Yellowstone safely. Wilderness first aid certified and trained as a safari guide in
Botswana. Scientists were on the ground, carefully documenting the ecological effects wolves sent
rippling throughout the region as they restored this ecosystem from top to bottom. They efficiently
hunt large prey that other predators cannot usually kill. Of particular interest is how wolves interact
with prey and scavenger populations in the park. It was found that the K-locus gene is involved in
immune function in addition to causing black coat color, suggesting an additional role in pathogen
defense. Letnic M, Nelson MP, Schmitz OJ, Smith DW, Wallach AD, Wirsing AJ 2014 Status and
ecological effects of the world’s largest carnivores. This in turn has benefitted such Yellowstone
wildlife as beaver, bison, pronghorn, songbirds, raptors, and trout. Gaps in data represent years where
no data was collected. While it is too early to confirm the widespread recovery of cottonwoods and
willows, the reintroduction of wolves appears to have put a stop to major declines in the survival of
these plants, the researchers found. It was a great resource to use when learning more about the
wolves. — Sally C. Rated 5 out of 5 See all reviews Also included in Huge Life Science
Informational Text Bundle. As land was converted for agriculture, natural prey species became less
abundant and wolves had to adapt to using livestock species as prey or leaving the area. When citing
a WEBSITE the general format is as follows. During November-December 2016, our “early” winter
study period, a total of 22 ungulate carcasses fed on by wolves were discovered by air and ground
teams. Twenty (91%) of these ungulates were killed by wolves, which included 11 elk, three bison,
two deer, and four unknown species. This park is bigger than Rhode island and Delaware combined.

arrived, it became largely a two-species system, he said, and Boyce’s model did a good job of
plotting the effects. The paper is so-authored by Marshall's research co-advisors at CSU: David
Cooper, senior research scientist in the Department of Forestry and Rangeland Stewardship, and
Thompson Hobbs, senior research scientist with the Natural Resource Ecology Lab and professor in

aversive-condition several wolves each year. Mollie’s (18 wolves; 14 adults, 4 pups) The Mollie’s
pack began 2016 with no apparent alpha male, although alpha female 779F produced a litter of four
pups. Meanwhile, 755M, who’d been wandering, had found a mate, 759F from Mollie’s pack, and
returned to his pack with her. Changes in wolf predation patterns and impacts on prey species like
elk are inextricably linked to other factors, such as other predators, management of ungulates outside

They found that new aspen trees had stopped being produce during the first half of the 20 th century.
Anchored in what we have learned from Yellowstone, highlighting the unique blend of research
techniques that have given us this knowledge, and addressing the major issues that wolves still face
today, this book is as wide-ranging and awe-inspiring as the Yellowstone restoration effort itself.
This is only the beginning of changes that will be observed in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem as
the wolf population continues to become established and create a positive trophic cascade, restoring
the health of the ecosystem in surprising ways. Current National Park Service (NPS) research focuses
on the relative factors driving wolf predation over the past 25 years. That ratio reversed from 2001
to 2007, indicating changes in prey vulnerability and availability. Total Pages 9 pages Answer Key

other predators that depend on fish benefit, etc. However, this still allows the benefits to the
ecosystem within Yellowstone to benefit. The carrying capacity describes the size of a population the
ecosystem can support. Also detailed are the fraught history, politics and implications of rewilding.
The animals ran in 11 packs, seven of which had couples that were considered breeding pairs. By:

begun changing. The wolves have expanded their population and range, and now are found
throughout the GYE. The thicker vegetation, more abundant saplings (which are now maturing into
larger trees), and other secondary changes brought about by the presence of the wolves has stopped
river erosion and changed the very landscape of the park. Early management of predators caused
dynamic changes to the ecosystem. We'd recommend groups of 3-4 students working as a team. All
wolves currently alive are descendants. 6) In 2006, the population increased to 136 wolves in 13
packs. 7) In 2008, there were 124 wolves in 12 packs. Gray wolves mate in February and give birth
in April. In 1973, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) listed the northern Rocky Mountain wolf
(Canis lupus) as an endangered species and designated Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) as
one of three recovery areas. There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if
applicable). District subscriptions provide huge group discounts for their schools. Wolf number 10,

Boulder, Colorado. Overview. Introduction Background History Winter Mortality. While at first this
seemed an example of wolf resilience, further events demonstrate how ’06’s and 754’s deaths
disrupted this pack’s social stability. About 500 call Greater Yellowstone home and an estimated 80
wolves live within Yellowstone National Park. The plants required both removing browsing and
restoring the beaver-modified stream conditions that occurred prior to wolf removal in order to
thrive. By 1960, the wild canines were nearly extinct in the lower forty-eight, but in 1995, scientists
plucked forty-one wolves from Canada and Montana and released them into the wilds of
Yellowstone National Park.
The review also highlighted the direct and indirect roles that large carnivores play in structuring
trophic cascades, and the sometimes unexpected consequences of reducing numbers of these apex
predators. You are able to pay attention to the case Wolves In Yellowstone Student Worksheet
Answers with this page. The reintroduction was successful in minimizing habituation to people and
the wolves avoided human contact when they were released from the acclimation pens. Alpha
female 821F (turned 7-years-old) had a litter of four pups; two were still alive by the end of the year.
Other streamside species such as willows and berry-producing shrubs also suffered. When wolves
arrived, increased predatory pressure on the elk occurred. Because in the Scholar Worksheet about

driver explained patterns of willow establishment and growth over the past three decades in
Yellowstone. Often cited is wolves’ contribution to aspen and willow regrowth as the top-level
predator’s presence on a landscape alters elk and other browsing ungulates’ behavior, preventing
them from over-grazing by pushing elk off of riparian areas (stream-banks) and across landscapes
more regularly. It started twenty-three miles east of West Yellowstone and sixty-five miles southwest
of Bozeman. Animal Cell Worksheet Animal Cell Worksheet in an understanding moderate can be
used to test students capabilities and understanding by answering questions. From a summer high of
19 wolves, the pack ended the year with two adult females, one yearling female, and four pups.
Because wolves do not recognize political boundaries and often move between different
jurisdictions, some wolves that live within the park for most of the year, but at times move outside
the park, are taken in the hunts. Their coat colors range between gray, brown, and black, with lighter
fur on their faces, legs, and belly. Sixty-five percent of collared wolves are ultimately killed by rival
packs. By 1996, there would be 31 wolves, captured in Alberta and British Columbia. This is also a
very reputable source as it is a government corporation with no reason to lie. We will respond quickly
with instructions for how to return items from your order. In Yellowstone, this discovery set the
stage for studies that explored the link between coat color, reproduction, survival, and behavior.
Perhaps with fewer adult males in the pack, Junction Butte beta male 890M was able to join the
Mollie’s pack in late July. Infectious canine hepatitis, canine parvovirus, and bordetella have also
have been confirmed among Yellowstone wolves, but their effects on mortality are unknown. In the
course of 150 years, the wolf population in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem went from being
hunted almost to local extinction to a thriving population with up to nine different packs calling
Yellowstone National Park home. An excellent lesson about the power of nature's interconnections
and the cascade of events that can occur when a species is removed from an ecosystem. ??NOW IN

They found a striking association between pack size, body weight and offspring survival. It would
not, however, protect the wolves of Yellowstone. Ten wolves is the average pack size for wolves in
Yellowstone. For Quests focused on species, the goal is for students to select one species at the
beginning of the Explore section that they will focus on as they proceed. This can lead to aggressive
behavior toward humans.
Because wolves do not recognize political boundaries and often move between different

Energy and Dynamics with crosscutting concepts of cause and effect as well as systems and stems
models. For example, when wolves kill an elk, ravens and magpies arrive almost immediately.
However, because she was the alpha male’s daughter, she wouldn’t breed with him. After the deaths
of the ’06 female and 754M in late 2012, the FWP Commission tried to close areas adjacent to the
park to hunting and trapping because too many Yellowstone wolves were being killed. Trophic
cascades describe the relationship apex predators have with their prey, and the relationship their prey
have with their food sources. A biological count in 2019 recorded 81 wolves in nine packs. The
animal is federally protected under the Endangered Species Act, although Wyoming Gov. Here, for
the first time in a single book, is the incredible story of the wolves’ return to Yellowstone National
Park as told by the very people responsible for their reintroduction, study, and management. Katie
Fehribach, Dave Luketic, Maureen McBride, and Erik Elam. Location. Yellowstone National Park is

Wyoming Another 3% is in Montana And 1% is in Idaho. MM. The plants required both removing
browsing and restoring the beaver-modified stream conditions that occurred prior to wolf removal in
order to thrive. They found this out by looking at the tree rings of annual growth of the trees,
allowing them to age the trees. By the end of 2011, the epidemic had mostly subsided; however, the
infection is still present at lower prevalences throughout the park. This July, Congressman Peter
DeFazio requested a wolf buffer zone around Yellowstone. Staff continued to manage wolf viewing
areas in Slough Creek, Lamar Valley, Hayden Valley, and other areas where wolves were frequently
observed. The subsequent recovery of willows (Salix spp.) and aspens (Populus tremuloides) that elk
(Cervus elaphus) had been eating to death in the absence of wolves provides a powerful ecological
lesson. Their emotions seem similar to our own, but they inspire dark fairy tales and anger among
some livestock owners. A concentrated effort between 1914 and 1926 finished the job - the last
known wolf pack disappeared in 1926. In Yellowstone, this discovery set the stage for studies that
explored the link between coat color, reproduction, survival, and behavior. By April 2013, 755M’s
daughters were both pregnant and preparing for birth, and the pack was spending lots of time outside
the park. The reintroduction was successful in minimizing habituation to people and the wolves
avoided human contact when they were released from the acclimation pens. Disease There was no
evidence of any major disease mortality. This in turn has benefitted such Yellowstone wildlife as
beaver, bison, pronghorn, songbirds, raptors, and trout. The carrying capacity describes the size of a
population the ecosystem can support. Dynamics of herbivore impacts on trees and grasses in an
African savannah. MacNulty Guest Essay: Old Dogs Taught Old Lessons Paul C. Two of 755M’s
daughters had attracted mates from other packs. Only some of the wolves in each pack wear GPS
collars, and not all GPS collars are used to search for clusters. Part Two - Students next read about
the cascade of ecosystem changes after the wolves disappeared from Yellowstone. Pages may
