Study shows Great Lakes wolf survival not linked to federal listing status

Work done by a team of Michigan collegiate researchers indicates that federal listing status has less to do with human-caused wolf mortality than does the traveling (increased exposure) done by lone wolves or dispersing wolves. (Stock photo)

Researchers have found that humans account for 67% of wolf mortality, with poaching the dominant cause of wolf mortality despite the fact that wolves in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota have been mostly under some level of federal protection.
At this year’s Great Lakes Wolf Symposium at Northland College in Ashland, Wis., Alejandra Perez, a graduate student at Michigan State University’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, presented her work on how wolves in the Great Lakes Region are doing and how researchers evaluate changes in wolf survival and mortality over the years.
