His talk
will be "Biology, Ecology and Management of Gray Wolves in
Wisconsin"
He will discuss the physical appearance of wolves and compare
and contrast with coyotes and dogs. He will look at various
aspects of biology including breeding habits, pack dynamics,
food habits, land tenure systems, and dispersal
characteristics. He will discuss the ecology of wolves and
their role in wild land ecosystems. We will examine how
monitoring and research have been conducted in Wisconsin, and
some findings from this work. We will look at how wolves became
extirpated ,but then re-colonized and expanded across Wisconsin
from Minnesota, eventually to become a source population for
Michigan.
He will complete the talk by discussing current management
issues, including changing legal status and wolf depredation on
domestic animals.
