| Are you ready to design a wildlife
ecology study? It's time to compare your ideas to the
scientists' and analyze real data. Don't worry if your
ideas don't exactly match Dr. Berger's-he's had 15 years
of experience studying the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem!
To figure out how wolves might affect birds, Dr. Berger
and his team studied two different areas - one with predators,
and one without. |
|
|
| |
| Dr. Berger and his team explored
several aspects of the ecosystem to predict how the wolf reintroduction
might affect the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: |
 |
How do predators influence the moose, a
mostly riparian species? |
 |
How do moose affect the willow community
structure? |
 |
What is the relationship between willow
habitat characteristics and bird diversity? |
