{"product_id":"yellowstone-cougars-toni-k-ruth-9781607328285","title":"Yellowstone Cougars: Ecology Before and During Wolf Restoration","description":"\u003ci\u003eYellowstone Cougars\u003c\/i\u003e examines the effect of wolf restoration on the cougar population in Yellowstone National Park--one of the largest national parks in the American West. No other study has ever specifically addressed the theoretical and practical aspects of competition between large carnivores in North America. The authors provide a thorough analysis of cougar ecology, how they interact with and are influenced by wolves--their main competitor--and how this knowledge informs management and conservation of both species across the West. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Of practical importance, \u003ci\u003eYellowstone Cougars\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the management and conservation of multiple carnivores in increasingly human-dominated landscapes. The authors move beyond a single-species approach to cougar management and conservation to one that considers multiple species, which was impossible to untangle before wolf reestablishment in the Yellowstone area provided biologists with this research opportunity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eYellowstone Cougars\u003c\/i\u003e provides objective scientific data at the forefront of understanding cougars and large carnivore community structure and management issues in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, as well as in other areas where wolves and cougars are reestablishing. Intended for an audience of scientists, wildlife managers, conservationists, and academics, the book also sets a theoretical precedent for writing about competition between carnivorous mammals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toni K.
