Functional response of wolves preying on barren-ground caribou in a multiple-prey ecosystem Functional response of wolves preying on barren-ground caribou in a multiple-prey ecosystem
1. We investigated the functional response of wolves (Canis lupus) to varying abundance of ungulate prey to test the hypothesis that switching from alternate prey to preferred prey results in regulation of a caribou (Rangifer tarandus) population at low densities. 2. We determined prey selection, kill rates, and prey abundance for four wolf packs during three 30-day periods in March 1989...
