The boreal shield in eastern Manitoba is home to wolves and a prey guild composed mainly of moose, white-tailed deer and beaver.For the past few years, Daniel has been following wolves in eastern Manitoba to determine kill and predation rates of wolf packs in eastern Manitoba through kill site investigations. Daniel will discuss how wolf prey selection can vary among packs and between seasons and how this affects our understanding predator-prey dynamics in Manitoba.
