Oregon author discusses wolves’ role in wilderness ecosystems Wolves from Page 1A raised a family. During a writ- ing residency in 2011, the subject of wolves came up. Later a friend mentioned that OR-7 had dispersed from the Imnaha pack and was travel- ing south. Feeling a kinship, Elgin was intrigued and began her research on OR-7. Misconceptions about wolves are many, she said, “you either love them or hate them,” but her interaction with people about wolves has been positive. Extermination Most myths about wolves began mainly in Europe as folklore. Books and mov- ies have profi ted by exhibit- ing the wolf as a ferocious, man-eating predator. Though most myths can be debunked, there was some basis to these stories “as wolves in Europe did at times prey on humans,” Elgin said. As more people immigrated to the United States, this folklore seeped into its human landscape. Early settlers were intimi- dated by North American wil- derness and tried to conquer it by destroying its forests, damming its rivers and killing its wildlife. By killing hoofed animals for food, clothing or sport, settlers were destroying the ecological landscape, cre- ating a competitive pattern for survival between wolves and humans. Wolves lost. The U.S. government and ranchers led efforts to elimi- nate them throughout the low- er 48 states. By the 1920s in Yellowstone National Park, wolves were exterminated, leaving the park wolf-free for seven decades. By the 1930s, wolves were nearly extirpat- ed from the Lower 48. Elgin notes in her book that experts believe approximately one million wolves were killed in the U.S. between the 19th and 20th centuries. The plan, she said, was to completely erad- icate them. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service remote camera photo of OR-7 on May 3, 2014, in eastern Jackson County on forest service land. the three different packs had the entire pack structure fi g- ured out. The second release took place from 1996 to 1997 with wolves from the Nez Perce pack. The reintroduction of wolves dramatically changed the park’s landscape, decreas- ing the elk population and a once dying ecosystem began to fl ourish. Though there is some disagreement among studies that reintroducing wolves back into Yellowstone may not have been the prima- ry solution to its dying eco- system, evidence does show the positive effect of Yellow- stone’s ecological health was attributed to the wolf. Yellowstone study To collar or not SUBMITTED PHOTO After 70 years, Yellow- stone came up with a reintro- duction plan to manage the rising elk population, which had been overgrazing much of the park, affecting its rivers, forests — and the landscape itself. This gave scientists a unique opportunity to study pack dynamics when a top predator returned to an eco- system that was once a native habitat. Beginning in 1995, the fi rst reintroduction of wolves began and within a 24-hour period, the wolves taken from On a trip to Yellowstone, Elgin was surprised to see both wolf and elk collared. “It’s amazing to see wolves in Yellowstone, but you get tired of seeing collars,” she said, noting that nearly all wolves are collared. “You just want to see the wolves in a more nat- ural state without the collars.” Collaring is still contro- versial in wildlife manage- ment, but valuable data can be recorded from collared wildlife. “The collaring has some great components to it. We would have not known Journey’s story if he hadn’t been collared, we wouldn’t have been able to follow him,” Elgin said, adding, “he wouldn’t have had so many fans, and I think he’s been an amazing ambassador for wolves.” Elgin discussed the im- portance of the wolves’ role in maintaining a healthy eco- system. Trophic cascades, she explained, is a theory that helps scientists understand the role of predators in the food web and their affect on the population and behavior of their prey. “This effect trickles or cascades down to other animals, plants and the environment in ways we are just beginning to understand.” MARKETPLACE Signal T o pla ce a cla ssified a d ca ll 503-325-5561,log on to w w w .sea sidesign a l.com or stop in a t 1555 N .Roosevelt in Sea side | D ea dlin e isM on da y a t n oon 604 Apartments One of the Pacific Northwest’s great small newspapers T HE D AILY A STORIAN Beautiful Beach House Upscale, Convenient Location, 3Bedgoom, 2.5Bathgooms, Double Gagage, Gas Figeplace, $1795/month.
