The grey wolf is one of the world's most polarizing and charismatic
species. Respected, adored, or held in awe by many as an icon of
wilderness, wolves have also sparked fear and hatred when they have
come into conflict with human presence. Not surprisingly, they are
one of the most intensively studied mammalian species in the wild.
The World of Wolves : New Perspectives on Ecology, Behaviour, and
Management, offers a fresh and provocative look at current trends
in wolf and wildlife management. Representative case studies, from
geographically and culturally diverse areas of the world, highlight
the existing interconnections between wolves, their prey, their
habitat, their ecosystems and people, and the role of science in
policy formation and wolf management. In addition, the studies
involve many issues (for example, population genetics and livestock
husbandry practices) that are entry points into larger aspects of
ecology and evolution. This book will appeal to conservationists,
scientists, wildlife managers, and anyone seeking a better
understanding of wolves and their co-existence with us.
