New research paper on Himalayan wolf, Kiang and Himalayan Marmot activity

New research on the activity of Himalayan wolf, Kiang and Himalayan Marmots.

Our latest study reveals how Himalayan wolves adjust their activity according to the seasonal availability of their key prey in Upper Humla, Nepal.

During the warm season, when Himalayan marmots are active, wolf activity closely follows marmot activity.

When marmots hibernate, wolves show a stronger temporal relationship with Kiang.

These seasonal shifts show how closely wildlife is connected to the availability of resources and how human and livestock presence can influence these relationships through disturbance and competition.

Understanding these interactions is essential for building effective wildlife conservation and human–wildlife coexistence strategies in the Himalayas.
