so, это больше волка means "this is bigger than a wolf" while это больше волк means "this is a bigger wolf"?

Does this mean that comparative adjectives induce the accusative?

The comparative adjective gives us two options. Медведь больше, чем волк. Медведь больше волка. In the example where чем is omitted, the second noun is in the genitive case. It just so happens that animate nouns like волк are declined just like the accusative.
