November 14: Wisconsin's gray wolves: a story of survival and recovery
Jennifer Stenglein, Ph.D. candidate from the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology at UW-Madison
Wisconsin's gray wolves have rebounded from a handful of individuals in the 1980s to over 800 today. The obvious drivers of this population growth is that more wolves have to enter Wisconsin through birth and immigration than leave Wisconsin through death and emigration. Though it begins with this simple story, there are fascinating twists and turns along the way. Wisconsin's wolves had to overcome a lot to grow into the population they are today. Jennifer Stenglein will share with you some of her research on wolf population dynamics. In particular, she will give some ideas for why wolves took so many years to exceed endangered status, and how wolf survival and causes of wolf mortality have varied over time and across Wisconsin.
