From TheWildlifeNews.com:
To hear many hunters tell it, the wolves brought down from Canada to restore populations in states like Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho are something entirely different—another species or at least a separate subspecies from the wolves that once roamed these lands. In this telling, they are “Canadian wolves”: larger, more aggressive, and somehow more sinister than the animals that historically lived in the Northern Rockies of the United States.
This perception has taken hold in popular conversation, shaping attitudes and fueling debate. Yet it raises an important question—are these wolves truly different, or is the distinction more myth than biological reality?

From Ecological Society of America:
Up to 87% of flowering plant species depend on a wide range of animal species for their pollination. Among mammals, nectivorous pollinator species are principally represented by flying species such as bats and, to a smaller extent, by some marsupials, rodents, primates, and small carnivores. It has been pointed out that therophily, pollination by non-flying mammals, may however be more widespread and hold more significance than currently recognized.
