Wolves and seismic lines

Wolves use seismic lines for hunting and ease of travel according to YukonU’s Dr. Fiona Schmiegelow and the team of researchers who recently co-authored a paper published in Nature.  

These researchers recommend land restoration in caribou ranges to reduce wolf use of these industrial disturbances for enhanced movement and hunting prey.
