Mathematical modelling has long provided critical insights into the complex interactions between predators and their prey. Traditional approaches, such as the Lotka–Volterra model, lay the foundation ...

Sarah Hoy spends winter in a small cabin on a remote, snow-covered island colonized by wolves. Drinking water comes from a hole in the ice on Lake Superior, which surrounds the island. A generator ...

1. Variation in predation can have important consequences for predators and prey, but little is known about associated mechanisms. Diel interactions between predators and prey are commonly assumed to ...

Fieldwork for the Isle Royale wolf-moose project — the oldest predator-prey study in the world — is led by researchers at Michigan Technological University and supported by volunteers. Last summer’s ...

Wildlife interactions are an intriguing prospect for many people due to the dynamics in play. Unlike human society, wildlife is not dominated by law; everyone has their roles, and they follow them to ...

The battle between predator and prey on Lake Superior's largest island is turning out to be a lose-lose situation this winter as wolf and moose numbers continue a downward spiral. Isle Royale moose ...

ISLE ROYALE, MI - The effort to rebuild wolf packs on Michigan’s remote Isle Royale National Park continues to gain momentum, with researchers’ annual study showing an increase in the number of wolves ...

The male wolf’s arrival via ice bridge in 1997 changed everything. On the heels of co-authoring a study in Science Advances, Isle Royale wolf-moose study co-leader Sarah Hoy explains how he triggered ...

ISLE ROYALE — Researchers counted 30 wolves and an estimated 840 moose on Lake Superior’s largest island last winter, with both predator and prey down a bit from last year but signifying that both ...

Predators may keep prey populations healthy by acting as a selective force against genetic diseases. A new study found that wolves select adult moose based on age and osteoarthritis, a chronic disease ...
