Other Comments:

Allen launched the world-famous studies of wolves and moose on Michigan?s Isle Royale, which have had a lasting impact in the field. The studies he began would be continued for years,becoming the longest study ever of predator-prey relationships. Through his landmark research on Isle Royale, his inspired teaching, and his many publications, Allen made a lasting impression on the wildlife field.
