A new era of wolf management demands better data and a more inclusive process
Abstract Hunting and trapping of gray wolves ( Canis lupus ) has increased dramatically in the “lower 48” states of the United States. We assess the data used to justify the intense hunting pressure on wolves, and find an absence of accessible biological data. We find there is a clear need for more...
