Wolves have long been central to the challenges of human-wildlife coexistence, with their management often sparking intense political debate. Globally, wolf populations span a remarkably diverse array of countries, each with unique cultural, environmental, economic, and governmental contexts. This diversity is particularly pronounced in Eurasia, where wolves roam across more than 50 national borders. Differences in cultural perspectives, political goals, monitoring practices, and local knowledge about wolf populations add significant complexity to cross-border management.

In november 2024, Wildlife Biology, a fully Gold Open Access journal, published the special issue “Wolves Across Borders.” This issue welcomes high-quality theoretical, empirical, and practical articles on all aspects of wolf science, from wolf ecology and behavior to the social and governance dimensions of wolf management.

 

Additionally, we invite researchers and experts to submit manuscripts for the 2025 international conference.
