Can AI help us speak with wolves?
Why do wolves howl? With the help of AI, we're getting closer to an answer. Linguist and software engineer Jeffrey T. Reed shares his research on wolf sounds in the wild, revealing the surprisingly complex range of vocalizations — barks, yelps, whimpers, even teeth clacking — these creatures make for different social functions.

Why wolves are thriving in this radioactive zone
Why wolves are thriving in this radioactive zone
In 1986 the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, releasing radioactive material into northern Ukraine and Belarus. It was the most serious nuclear accident in history. Over one hundred thousand people were evacuated from the surrounding area. But local gray wolves never left — and their population has grown over the years. It's seven times denser than populations in protected lands elsewhere in Belarus. This fact has led scientists to wonder whether the wolves are genetically either resistant or resilient to cancer — or if the wolves are simply thriving because humans aren't interfering with them. This episode, researchers Shane Campbell-Staton and Cara Love talk through what might be causing this population boom. Plus, why researchers in the field of human cancer are eager to collaborate with them.Want to hear about other ways humans are impacting the planet? Email us at shortwave@npr.org.

Keystone species are integral to maintaining the balance and health of ecosystems. As top predators, gray wolves profoundly impact their environment by controlling herbivore populations and affecting vegetation growth and diversity.One well-known example of this is the reintroduction of gray wolves to Yellowstone National Park in 1995, which had a ripple effect throughout the entire ecosystem.
