By 1935, hunting and trapping had eliminated wolves from the United States, except for Alaska. Wolves have since been protected as an endangered species, they have moved south from Canada and become reestablished in the Rocky Mountains and northern Great Lakes region. Conservationists who would like to speed up wolf recovery have reintroduced wolves into Yellowstone National Park. Local ranchers are opposed to bringing back the wolves because they fear predation on their cattle and sheep. What are some reasons for reestablishing wolves in Yellowstone National Park? What effects might the reintroduction of wolves have on the biological communities in the region? What might be done to mitigate the conflicts between ranchers and wolves?
Imagine that a certain foreign snake species has been set loose in Mississippi. They are flourishing in their new habitat, however, their effect on native ecosystems has been destructive. Explain the reasons behind this problem. How likely is this example?
Describe the effects of the disappearance of beaver from an ecosystem on the wolf population.

Landings of blue crab plummeted in 2002 and 2003, as five years of drought and greatly reduced freshwater flow from underground aquifers led to increased salinity in coastal estuaries. These habitats between open ocean and fresh water are “nurseries” for many marine animals. Speculate about possible causes for the decline in shrimp and blue crab populations.arrow_forwardGive a brief description if the Tulare lake region What happened to the Tulare and Bueno Vista lakesarrow_forward
