Wolf Notes No. 5, Winter 2000/2001 (GNWT, Winter 2000/2001)
Wolf Notes No. 5 presents findings from the NWT Wolf Project's 1997-2000 research on tundra wolves in Canada's central Arctic, focusing on wolves' preference for esker habitat for denning and their relationship with migratory barren-ground caribou. The newsletter reports on 24 active wolf dens located in June 2000, radio-collaring efforts, pup counts, and recommendations for continued monitoring to assess cumulative effects of diamond mining activities.
