Meta-Analysis of Relationships between Human Offtake, Total Mortality and Population Dynamics of Gray Wolves (Canis lupus)
Figure 1
The relationship between total annual mortality and human offtake for wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains Recovery Area (black) and other populations (red).
Points are annual means for the Northern Rocky Mountains data, and multi-year means for other populations. The bars on each point show one standard error. The relationships shown are from the best-supported model in Table 1, a linear relationship with separate slopes and intercepts for the two subsets of data. Dashed lines show 95% confidence bands, accounting for overdispersion by multiplying the variance by the inflation factor (c-hat) from the best-supported model.
