About the author
Robert R. Ream was an American wildlife biologist and researcher whose published work centered on ecology, habitat studies, and large mammals of the northern United States. Records for his books and reports link him to studies of timber wolves in northeastern Minnesota, elk ecology in Montana, and broader forest and vegetation research.
His name appears on scientific and government publications including Ecological Studies of the Timber Wolf in Northeastern Minnesota, Sapphire Range elk ecology study, and USDA Forest Service research on wilderness vegetation and plant-community sampling. An obituary from the University of Montana identifies him as “Bob Ream,” born on August 2, 1936, and notes that he died on March 22, 2017.
While readily available online sources give only a partial picture of his life, they consistently show a career devoted to field biology and conservation-minded research. His writing will especially interest listeners drawn to wolves, western landscapes, and the careful observation of how wild systems work.
