Managers often cull wolves (Canis lupus) to stop them from preying on threatened caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in British Columbia and Alberta. But high numbers of moose (Alces alces)—wolves’ primary prey—also play a role in bringing higher numbers of wolves into the area. In the featured article of the January issue of The Journal of Wildlife Management, one team of researchers looked at how restoring moose to lower, historical numbers could benefit woodland caribou and provide less of a need for wolf removal.

Other articles look at population dynamics of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in the Great Lakes, red fox (Vulpes vulpes) home ranges on an Atlantic barrier island, the benefits of irrigated agriculture on mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and much more!
