The Olympic Mountain Goat Controversy: A Different Perspective
Lyman RL. 1994. The Olympic Mountain Goat Controversy: A Different Perspective. Conservation Biology. 8(3):898-901
Rebuttal to article by V. B. Scheffer in which the assumption is that the mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) was introduced to the Olympic Mountains, WA. Lyman objects to this view, presenting the alternative that goats are native to this area. Argument centers around the stand taken by Olympic National Park that goats are exotic and therefore subject to management actions including removal from park lands.
