It is a fact, less predation on plants by herbivores will increase growth.
UW "professors".
Sorry, but really leaning towards WSU.. Or even Central should do the study.

That's a BS one sided study with nothing to compare the data to and I'd like to see where the funding came from.

I could believe that wolves could move the deer and elk herds around on their wintering grounds, which in turn would keep them from wiping out an entire hillside of vegetation. What he is claiming is laughable BS.

Seems like he has already decided the outcome and is gathering evidence to validate his preconceived outcome.

"by understanding these top predators we can defend them better" Pretty much a one track mind, "we're going to have wolves, we just need to find a better argument to justify their existence"

If your seeking a Federal/State Welfare(fed job)position, make sure you also attend a very "Eco-friendly" institution(like Evergreen).
