Rezension

"A comprehensive synthesis of extensive and interrelated research conducted to understand the influences of climate and landscape on the dynamics of the mammals in the interior of the world's first and most famous national park.. Contributing authors include detailed descriptions of the central Yellowstone environment and present results of intensive field sampling, remote sensing, and modeling of important ecosystem components. These results are merged with extensive demographic, spatial, and behavioral databases from the resident elk, migratory bison, and reintroduced wolf populations to address population-level ecological process."--Yellowstone Science
