Differential provisioning roles, prey size, and prey abundance shape the dynamic feeding behavior of gray wolves
Abstract The demands of raising dependent young can influence the feeding behaviors of social carnivores, especially for individuals that are primarily responsible for provisioning young. We investigated how the feeding and provisioning behavior of a social carnivore, gray wolves (Canis lupus), are...
