Study highlights crucial role of gray wolves in ecosystem
From Missoula Current:
(CN) — Gray wolves maintain ecosystem balance in the western United States, researchers say in a new study bolstered by a Center for Biological Diversity lawsuit filed earlier in the week calling for increased federal protections.
In a study published Wednesday in BioScience and led by William Ripple from Oregon State University and the Conservation Biology Institute, researchers explored the significant consequences of losing large predators on ecological communities and functions.
