Conteúdo: | Introduction: Integrated science in the central yellowstone system / Robert A. Garrott and P.J. White -- Landscape and climate -- Ungulates spatial and polulation dynamics prior to wolves -- Wolves : re-establishment and predation -- Wolf ungulate dynamics -- HNuman wildlife interactions -- Communicating ecological knowledge and contributing to natural resource management.This book is an authoritative work on the ecology of some of America's most iconic large mammals in a natural environment - and of the interplay between climate, landscape, and animals in the interior of the world's first and most famous national park. Central Yellowstone includes the range of one of the largest migratory populations of bison in North America as well as a unique elk herd that remains in the park year round. These populations live in a varied landscape with seasonal and often extreme patterns of climate and food abundance. The reintroduction of wolves into the park a decade ago resulted in scientific and public controversy about the effect of large predators on their prey, a debate closely examined in the book.
