Molecular and Evolutionary History of Melanism in North American Gray Wolves
Tovi M. Anderson,Bridgett M. vonHoldt,Sophie I. Candille,Marco Musiani,Claudia Greco,Daniel R. Stahler,Douglas W. Smith,Badri Padhukasahasram,Ettore Randi,Jennifer A. Leonard,Carlos Bustamante,Elaine A. Ostrander,Hua Tang,Robert K. Wayne,Gregory S. Barsh +14 more
TL;DR: The melanistic K locus mutation in North American wolves derives from past hybridization with domestic dogs, has risen to high frequency in forested habitats, and exhibits a molecular signature of positive selection as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is shown that the melanistic K locus mutation in North American wolves derives from past hybridization with domestic dogs, has risen to high frequency in forested habitats, and exhibits a molecular signature of positive selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape heterogeneity shapes predation in a newly restored predator–prey system
Matthew J. Kauffman,Nathan Varley,Douglas W. Smith,Daniel R. Stahler,Daniel R. MacNulty,Mark S. Boyce +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that landscape features and vegetation, which influence predator detection and capture of prey, shape large-scale patterns of predation in a newly restored predator-prey system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resource dispersion and consumer dominance: scavenging at wolf- and hunter-killed carcasses in Greater Yellowstone, USA
TL;DR: The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in the northern Rocky Mountains provides the context for a natural experiment to investigate the response of consumers to resources with differing spatial and temporal dispersion regimes and the top-down effect of predation is likely to be stronger in the vicinity of highly aggregated resource pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of harvest, climate and wolf predation on Yellowstone elk, 1961‐2004
TL;DR: It is suggested that between 1995 and 2004 wolf predation was primarily compensatory, and climate and harvest rate are justified explanations for most of the observed elk decline.
