ZooKeys 582: 143–156. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.582.5966 Abstract The taxonomic status of the wolf Canis( lupus) in Nepal’s Trans-Himalaya is poorly understood. Recent genetic studies have revealed the existence of three lineages of wolves in the Indian sub-continent. Of these, the Himalayan wolf, Canis lupus chanco, has been reported to be the most ancient lineage histori- cally distributed within the Nepal Himalaya. These wolves residing in the Trans-Himalayan region have been suggested to be smaller and very different from the European wolf.

  • Wolf and Elk Management in a Spatial Predator-Prey Ecosystem
    Wolf and Elk Management in a Spatial Predator-Prey Ecosystem David Aadland David Finnoff Jacob Hochard Charles Sims* July 11, 2016 Abstract. This paper provides insights into a complex and politically charged wildlife management problem using a spatial predator-prey model. The model is motivated by the spatiotemporal dynamics between elk, wolves, hunters and cattle ranchers in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). Wildlife managers set hunting rates for elk and wolves to maximize the stream of ecosystem services derived from the GYE over time. The management component of the model considers tradeoffs between tourism, hunting, and cattle grazing currently facing wildlife managers. The predator-prey component of the model incorporates intraspecific competition and spatially explicit predation risk calibrated to the GYE. Contrary to a recent judicial ruling that has placed a moratorium on hunting wolves in Wyoming, optimal management within our model calls for more aggressive wolf hunting outside of Yellowstone National Park (YNP). The model also calls for a lower elk hunting rate, which leads to a higher steady-state population of elk, more prey for wolves, and less livestock predation. This combination of a prescribed lower elk hunting rate and higher wolf hunting rate is robust to a wide range of parameter values. *Aadland ([email protected]) and Finnoff are associate professors in the Department of Economics and Finance, 1000 E. University Avenue, Laramie, WY 82071. Hochard is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics, East Carolina University. Sims is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics, University of Tennessee. 1 “The wolf’s repopulation of the northern parts of the lower forty-eight states, now well under way, will stand as one of the primary conservation achievements of the twentieth century…If we have learned anything from this ordeal, it is that the best way to ensure continued wolf survival is, ironically enough, not to protect wolves completely.” L.

A comparative analysis of predator management techniques of North American wolf species and potential applications in Michigan Madison Ball Honors Senior Project Proposal Project Advisor: Professor Ali Locher 23 April 2014 1 Abstract Wolf populations have continued to increase after the Endangered Species Act of 1973 within the United States. Many resilient populations have reestablished themselves and have since become delisted as endangered species. Wolf reestablishment, especially near areas close to humans, has created new management problems that wildlife and land managers are responsible for solving. As wolf populations grow and human development pushes closer and closer to wild areas, conflicts pertaining to depredation of livestock, safety of pets and citizens, and potential effects on prey species populations arise. Since multiple interest groups are involved in wolf management, it is dire that wolf related mandates have multidisciplinary approaches in order to please all groups and dissolve tension.

Conflict severely impacts the socio-economy of the local pastoralist community and threatens snow leopard survival. We investigated the socio-economic factors influencing such conflict and pastoralist attitudes towards snow leopard conservation using semi-structured interviews for a better understanding of what factors influence the variability in losses among the households in the Narphu valley, Nepal. While snow leopards caused significant losses to impoverished pastoralist households, respondents were generally accepting of their presence due to religious reasons and strict law enforcement. We observed poor herding and guarding practices with households owning larger numbers of total livestock (especially large bodied animals like yak (Bos mutus f. grunniens) and cattle (B. primigenius f. taurus)), which resulted in the higher loss. Further, compensation and insurance schemes were dysfunctional, with few households insuring their livestock and receiving compensation for depredated livestock over the past two years.

CRYING WOLF: THE UNLAWFUL DELISTING OF NORTHERN ROCKY MOUNTAIN GRAY WOLVES FROM ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT PROTECTIONS Abstract: Although settlers hunted gray wolves to near extinction more than a century ago, the animal remains one of the most enduring symbols of the West. In 1994, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service authorized reintro- duction of gray wolves into Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming under recovery provisions of the Endangered Species Act. Fourteen years later, the Service delisted wolves in these states, contending that the reintroduced popula- tion met the numeric and distributional criteria established for recovery in 1994. Months after a district judge enjoined the Service's 2008 delisting rule, the Service again delisted gray wolves.
