Landscape‐level wolf space use is correlated with prey abundance, ease of mobility, and the distribution of prey habitat

Abstract Predator space use influences ecosystem dynamics, and a fundamental goal assumed for a foraging predator is to maximize encounter rate with prey. This can be achieved by disproportionately utilizing areas of high prey density or, where prey are mobile and therefore spatially unpredictable,...
