Synopsis

Groundbreaking study of wolves and moose on Isle Royale, using aircraft and field work to map a living predator-prey system. This nonfiction portrait explains how a team built a long-term program to understand wolf ecology and its impact on the island’s moose herd. It describes the collaboration between universities and the National Park Service, the use of airborne counts, and the day‑to‑day field effort that followed wolves across the landscape. The focus is on how predator and prey influence each other over years, with careful attention to methods, data, and the big questions scientists seek to answer. - Learn how researchers tracked wolves from the air and on the ground to count moose and monitor pack behavior. - See how predator-prey relationships are studied with long‑term data, pack sizes, territories, and hunting patterns. - Understand the challenges of studying a northern ecosystem and the clues scientists gather from remains, sightings, and recordings. - Explore how findings about wolf productivity, moose mortality, and population dynamics shape our view of wild ecosystems. Ideal for readers who enjoy natural history, wildlife ecology, and field-study storytelling that stays grounded in real data and observation of living animals.
