On Alaska’s Prince of Wales Island, gray wolves have been observed hunting sea otters, a rare and surprising behavior.

Researchers are now working to learn more about how these wolves are adapting to marine prey, using methods such as wolf teeth analysis and trail cameras. Read more: bit.ly/4qofVsr

One of the challenges to red wolf recovery is misinformation, especially the belief that people don’t want them back. But new research tells a different story: people living where red wolves once roamed support their return and recognize their ecological and societal value. Read more: bit.ly/3JoPlyF

Our Q&A on inbreeding and its implications for conservation is out!

Despite ongoing debates about hybridization, science is clear: Red Wolves are a distinct species.

"Phenotype, genotype, evolutionary history – all of that already distinguishes Red Wolves from coyotes,” says WCC Research Associate, Sunny Murphy.

Last year, the WCC-IECL team launched a study on coyotes in Westchester County to learn how they live and move in human-dominated landscapes. 🐺

Understanding coyote ecology is key to safe and successful Red Wolf reintroductions.

With fall right around the corner, dispersal season is near. 🍂 Young coyotes set out to find mates and territory. Our Westchester trail cams logged 46 sightings last Sept compared to fewer than 10 in other months.

Reposting an interesting paper. We also ran into this using isotopes to assess coyote diets. We found a canopy effect on d13C values indicating enrichment was influenced more by land cover features and less by use of human foods. Agricultural cover influenced d15N values.

Do opposites really attract?🐺❤️ With Red Wolves, it might be true. Our research partner Lovin (USU grad. advised by Dr. Julie Young) is studying mate compatibility and early findings suggest wolves with contrasting personalities may be more likely to have pups.
