    Award-winning Michigan Tech Wildlife Ecologist Continues to Refine and Redefine His Life’s Work

    John Vucetich is one of the most recognized wildlife ecologists on the planet, with a body of research that ranges across species and disciplines. The 2025 Michigan Technological University Research Award winner expects his work to continue to expand in directions that defy easy predictions — even his own. Vucetich, a distinguished professor in Michigan Tech's College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science (CFRES), is perhaps best known for his research related to the University's Isle Royale wolf-moose project. The 67-year-old study has been based at Tech since 1975, and Vucetich has been a member of the research team since the 1990s, joining the project led by Rolf Peterson, now a CFRES professor emeritus. Vucetich earned his bachelor's degree in biology in 1995 and his Ph.D. in Forest Science in 1999 at Michigan Tech.
