From steroid use to “bone smashing”, the “looksmaxxing” movement is only the latest example of the manosphere’s toxic hold on young people.
Less obvious is the role ecologists have unwittingly played in its rise. Contemporary male supremacist arguments routinely borrow from evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology, and that should give ecologists pause.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s monthly activity map illustrates which watersheds collared gray wolves traveled in between Sept. 22-Oct. 27. GPS points are recorded roughly every four hours, which can lead to gaps between the highlighted watersheds, as wolves often travel large distances in short periods of time.

U.S. House Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Minocqua) says wolf management could help bring back deer hunting in northern Wisconsin.
Tiffany, the Wisconsin Republican candidate for governor, says wolves are contributing to declining deer herds in northern Wisconsin, making it harder to attract younger hunters to the sport.

Something on British Columbia’s central coast was wrecking crab traps.

In 1989, media mogul Ted Turner purchased the 113,613 acre Flying D Ranch southwest of Bozeman, Montana. He removed all domestic cattle and introduced a managed herd of bison across the native grasslands. When wolves dispersed from Yellowstone National Park seven years later, Turner instructed his staff not to shoot them, even if they preyed on his livestock.
His decision tested whether a commercial ranching operation and wild apex predators could coexist on private Western land.
