Shock collars as a site‐aversive conditioning tool for wolves
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Reduction of livestock losses from predators is a complex problem that requires the integration of lethal and nonlethal management tools. During 2005 and 2006, we tested shock collars for conditioning wild wolves (Canis lupus) in Wisconsin, USA, to avoid

A new era of wolf management demands better data and a more inclusive process
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Hunting and trapping of gray wolves (Canis lupus) has increased dramatically in the “lower 48” states of the United States. We assess the data used to justify the intense hunting pressure on wolves, and find an absence of accessible biological data.
