This is because the wolves have not returned to their historic range they face an early ending to recovery.  I also think they should be endangered because they are already being delisted so they should just make them endangered already. ]]> 2018-02-13 20:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/231292671 Yellowstone Relationships griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233004598 Coyote is a predator while prey is elk. The coyotes usually eat the elk while they are young. If the coyotes eat the elk when they are older they eat them in the winter. Another relationship is the Grey Wolf as the predator and the elk as prey. The elk is a a main food source for the wolves. When the elk population decreased in 2007 the wolf population also went down.The wolves really rely on the elk as a food source. The wolves decreased the elks population by 20% since their reintroduction.]]> 2018-02-19 17:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233004598 griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233007757 2018-02-19 18:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233007757 griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233009766 2018-02-19 18:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233009766 How changes to an Ecosystem Affect Population griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233019195 Changes to an ecosystem mostly brings down the population. For example in the coral reef lab when the water became more acidic the population went down of all the coral and sponges and algae. Or when the percentages of storms went up the population went down. And when it got warmer the population went down. This is showing that change mostly brings down the population. ]]> 2018-02-19 18:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233019195 griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233879767 2018-02-21 17:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233879767 How species have changed within the past 40 years in Yellowstone griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233880953      Elk population increases and decreases. It determines on how many predators there are and also what the climate is. When winter came a lot of the elk died because of the cold temperatures. Elk also die because the wolves eat them.
        In Yellowstone, if wolves start to  overpopulate, then, naturally, the elk population will drop, which could drastically affect the ecosystem. For example, if wolf populations went up then the elk population would decrease because there are more wolves coming after the elk.
      In 1930, the wolves were taken out of Yellowstone, and the elk population grew and grew, and ate lots of trees, especially willow trees, and the beaver’s couldn’t survive. When the wolves were back in Yellowstone in 1995, the wolves started hunting elk again. When the elk were moving away from the Willow, the Willow started growing back, and the Beavers started eating it, and the Beaver population went up again.
    The moose have recently been decreasing due to ticks. Moose ticks take over the moose in the spring or fall, they attach to the moose as the moose bends down to eat. Over the past 40 years the population has seen a steady decrease in population due to hunting and a large number of forest fires bringing the total population in the area down by 75% form 1980 when there was over 1,000 to now when there is only 200 left.

I also feel like humans would hunt more deer knowing that there is more of them to hunt. ]]> 2018-02-21 17:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/233887228 Wolf populations affect the elk and willow populations by... griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/234768178 The more wolves there are the more elk that will be eaten. And the more elk that is eaten means less willow is eaten. So if there are a lot of wolves then they will eat more elk. Then if the elk die off then the willow isn't being eaten so the willow population will go up. 
If there is not a lot of wolves then there will be less elk eaten than normal and the population of the willow trees will go down because there are more elk eating them.]]> 2018-02-23 16:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/234768178 griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/238239644 2018-03-05 17:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/238239644 griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/238239817 2018-03-05 17:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/64rpjps3i5wt/wish/238239817
