Dan MacNulty
I work at the interface of animal behavior, population biology, and community ecology to address basic and applied questions in ecology and conservation. I began my research career in 1995 as a field technician in Yellowstone National Park where I assisted with wolf reintroduction and post-release wolf monitoring. I have conducted research related to Yellowstone wolves ever since. Much of my research centers on understanding the ecological consequences of wolf reintroduction as part of several long-term, collaborative studies of carnivores, ungulates, and plants in northern Yellowstone National Park. Many of my findings are presented in my co-authored/edited books Wolves on the Hunt: The Behavior of Wolves Hunting Wild Prey, and Yellowstone Wolves: Science and Discovery in the World’s First National Park, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
