BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The return of gray wolves has dramatically altered the landscape in portions of Yellowstone National Park, as new trees take root in areas where the predators have curbed the size of foraging elk herds, according to scientists in a new study.

Wolves as they reclaim their role as top predators in Oregon may change the landscape in ways anyone can see, according to scientists who study wolves and their environment.

 Biologist Bob Hayes has killed 851 wolves and sterilized many others in the name of science and conservation biology. For nearly two decades, he thought he was doing what needed to be done to protect caribou, moose and other prey species in the Yukon Territory.

Wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains are genetically healthy and have migrated and bred successfully among subpopulations in central Idaho, greater Yellowstone and northern Montana, according to a new study.

Researchers published in the February issue of BioScience suggests that introducing tightly controlled wolf populations in to damaged ecosystems could both restore that ecosystem and improve the public image of wolves.

A study carried out in the Basque Country suggests that wild dogs, not wolves, are the primary killer of sheep.

Dr. Jonathan Way, along with three others, authored a paper which concludes that eastern coyotes are actually hybrids of wolves and coyotes

With coywolves getting exposure in the news again – see Eastern Coyotes have a touch of wolf in them – So unique are these animals, that some are calling for the animal to be identified as a new species, HOWLColorado researched further.

A recently published study by researchers from Washington State University has shown that wolves in Idaho and Montana are now carriers of a wild strain of tapeworms – but there is no evidence the parasite can be transmitted to domestic livestock.
