Asked by paisley
The park has excellent habitat but is surrounded by busy roads that prevent wolf migration from other areas. How might this isolation affect the wolf population's long-term viability?
Question 2 options:
Road barriers will actually attract more wolves to the area
Road barriers will not significantly impact wolf survival
Genetic isolation could reduce population health and survival
Wolves will quickly adapt to crossing roads safely

Genetic isolation could reduce population health and survival.
Isolation prevents gene flow, leading to inbreeding, reduced genetic diversity, higher disease and malformation rates, and lower adaptive potential — all reducing long‑term viability.
