Nonlinear effects of group size on the success of wolves hunting elk (2012, result): “Contrary to the popular view that increasing group size usually improves hunting success (e.g., Creel S and Creel NM 2002; Sand et al. 2006), wolves hunting elk in Yellowstone National Park did not perform better in groups with .”
Activity patterns of predator and prey: a simultaneous study of GPS-collared wolves and moose (2011, methodology): “…adjustments by moose in south-central Scandinavia may be explained by the relatively low predation pressure by wolves on moose compared to the high hunting pressure by humans (Gundersen 2003; Solberg et al. 2003; Sand et al. 2006a), and thus a low pressure for adaptation to wolf predation.”
Diet and prey selection of wolves ( Canis lupus ) recolonising Western and Central Poland (2011, unknown): “Furthermore, in Scandinavia success ofwolves inmoosehuntingwas correlatedwith age of breedingmales and their bodymass (Sand et al. 2006).”
