Scientific research has long assumed gray wolves are non-migratory during springtime, staying put to tend to litters of nearly helpless pups. A new study on wolves and elk near Cody upends that notion.

Yellowstone-area wolves observed moving pups to follow elk — upending scientific assumptions - WyoFile
Study refutes widespread understanding that gray wolves, anchored by young offspring, don’t move during spring denning season.

The news getting you down? I invite you to stare at this chart of solar and wind deployed capacity in China. They blew past their ambitious 2030 target... last July.
Solar and wind growth in China has ramped up to 1400 GW of installed capacity.

Hiring a PhD student (August 2025 start) to work on research related to elk reintroduction/spatial ecology using a large long-term dataset. Lots of flexibility in developing specific research questions! See the job link for more info: jobs.rwfm.tamu.edu/view-job/?id...
Join the WV Coop Unit at West Virginia University to
conduct research on reintroduced elk in West Virginia in
cooperation with the WV Division of Natural Resources.
You'll work with a unique GPS dataset from nearly all elk
within the population in the 9+ years following
reintroduction. Possible research directions include
investigating spatial responses to habitat management,
creating movement models to improve disease
surveillance, and evaluating monitoring strategies. Lots of
flexibility to develop research questions related to your
own interests! For more information and to apply, visit: https://jobs.rwfm.tamu.edu/view-job/?id=102033
