Wolves track beaver activity on Isle Royale, new study finds
A new Isle Royale study reveals that wolves closely track seasonal habitat shifts made by beavers—an insight that could reshape how we plan ecological restoration. Researchers from Michigan State University found that this predator–prey relationship may influence the island’s wider ecosystem, especially following the 2018 reintroduction of wolves.
