Wolf Population Survey.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: Snow track surveys are a common method of estimating relative abundance, estimating density, and documenting range use of furbearers and large carnivores. The purpose of this project was to investigate the feasibility of snow track surveys as a tool for monitoring distribution and density of wolves (Canis lupus) on Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge (Tetlin Refuge) and adjacent areas. The estimated wolf density (8.1 4.4 wolves/1,000 km2) was comparable with earlier qualitative reports (7.2 to 9 wolves/1,000 km2) for the area, although the estimate s precision was low. Improving the stratification should improve precision in future surveys.; abstract: Snow track surveys are a common method of estimating relative abundance, estimating density, and documenting range use of furbearers and large carnivores.
