Wolf presence outside Yellowstone topic of researcher’s Oct. 5 talk
From Billings Gazette:
After being functionally absent from the continental United States for approximately a century, wolves are back on the landscape and continually expanding into new areas.
Kristin Barker, research coordinator for the Beyond Yellowstone program, says, “The return of wolves to Yellowstone National Park has been touted as a key driver of restored ecosystem functioning, but what evidence do we have to support that claim, and how applicable is it outside protected areas like national parks?”
