[Mankind2100: The Future] Gray Wolves as Climate Change Buffers in Yellowstone: We used Monte Carlo methods, as elaborated below, to reconstruct how much carrion would have been available to scavengers during each of the winter months (November through April) in the years 1950 and 2000 under scenarios with and without wolves. Specifically, for each scenario [1950 without wolves, 2000 without wolves, 1950 with wolves, and 2000 with wolves], we drew 100 random SDTH values for each of the months, where SDTH was assumed to be normally distributed with mean and standard error for the years 1950 and 2000 given by the regression analyses of the Tower Falls weather data (see Figure 2).
