Meier and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper introduces a wolf monitoring protocol for the Central Alaska Network. This network consists of three units of the U.S. National Park system; Denali national Park and Preserve, Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. The Central Alaska Network has identified Fauna Distribution and Abundance as one of its top three vital signs for tracking major drivers of ecosystem change. Wolves (Canis lupus) occur in all three network parks. The primary objectives of wolf monitoring were to track the distribution and abundance of wolves using the Standard Operating Procedures. This data impacts and is of great value for wildlife management and research.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1944, The Wolves of Mount McKinley is the first serious ecological study of wolves and their relationships with other species in their natural environment. In the early 1930s the Dall Sheep population in McKinley National Park, now since renamed Denali National Park, underwent a serious decline in numbers. At the time predation by wolves was believed to be the cause, and in an era where predator control was a common practice by the National Park Service Murie was assigned to study the wolf-sheep relationship in order to gain the information needed to support any wildlife management decisions.The results of this study were intitially not well recieved as they ran contrary to popular belief - it not only indicated that the decline in sheep numbers was not caused by wolf predation, but additionally highlighted the fact that predators play a valuable role in ecosystem management. It ultimately enabled park managers to eliminate predator control and come to embrace the wolf population within the park, and to this day it remains one of the most frequently cited references on wolf biology.

This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes efforts to monitor wolves (Canis lupus) in Denali National Park and Preserve (DENA), Alaska, through spring 2011. Wolves occur in all three parks of the Central Alaska Monitoring Network (CAKN): Denali National Park and Preserve, Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Wolves are one of six keystone large mammal species in interior Alaska, along with grizzly bears (Ursus arctos), black bears (Ursus americanus), moose (Alces alces). caribou (Rangifer tarandus), and Dall's sheep (Ovis dalli).
Download or read book Among Wolves written by Marybeth Holleman and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alaska’s wolves lost their fiercest advocate, Gordon Haber, when his research plane crashed in Denali National Park in 2009. Passionate, tenacious, and occasionally brash, Haber, a former hockey player and park ranger, devoted his life to Denali’s wolves. He weathered brutal temperatures in the wild to document the wolves and provided exceptional insights into wolf behavior. Haber’s writings and photographs reveal an astonishing degree of cooperation between wolf family members as they hunt, raise pups, and play, social behaviors and traditions previously unknown. With the wolves at risk of being destroyed by hunting and trapping, his studies advocated for a balanced approach to wolf management. His fieldwork registered as one of the longest studies in wildlife science and had a lasting impact on wolf policies. Haber’s field notes, his extensive journals, and stories from friends all come together in Among Wolves to reveal much about both the wolves he studied and the researcher himself. Wolves continue to fascinate and polarize people, and Haber’s work continues to resonate.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management of gray wolves (Canis lupus) in and adjacent to Denali National Park and Preserve (DNPP) is complex. Wolves that live primarily within the park, where they are protected from harvest, often range across the boundary of the park where harvest of wolves is legal. Protection of wolves within the park provides for wolf viewing opportunities along the Denali Park Road for tens of thousands of visitors annually. Additionally, there is interest in maintaining wolf harvest opportunities adjacent to the park. The objectives for wolf viewing and harvest have been perceived as in direct conflict, but quantitative analysis of the relationship was lacking. Harvest of wolves is a highly contentious conservation and management issue worldwide, with unknown population-level consequences. The impact of the loss of reproductive individuals (breeders) may be particularly important to wolf pack structure, reproduction and population dynamics. I evaluated the effect of breeder loss on social stability, recruitment and population growth of wolves in DNPP and found that breeder loss preceded 77% of cases (n = 53) of pack dissolution from 1986 to 2012. Packs were more likely to dissolve if a female or both breeders were lost and pack size was small. Harvest of breeders increased the probability of pack dissolution, likely because the timing of harvest coincided with the breeding season of wolves. Breeder mortality and pack dissolution had no significant effects on immediate or longer-term population dynamics. I examined the effect of legal harvest of wolves along the boundaries of DNPP and Yellowstone (YNP), on wolf viewing opportunities within the parks during peak tourist season. Although sightings were largely driven by wolf population size and proximity of den sites to roads, sightings in both parks were significantly reduced by harvest. Sightings in YNP decreased by 31% following years with harvest of a wolf from a pack and sightings in DNPP decreased by 57% during the absence of a harvest buffer zone relative to years with the buffer. Controlling for variables influencing both the probability of wolf presence near the road and the detection of wolves, we found that the presence of a wolf harvest buffer zone adjacent to the park increased wolf sightings along the Denali Park Road. The effect of the harvest buffer on sightings was similar in magnitude to an increase in pack size by two wolves or more than a twofold decrease in masking vegetation. These results suggest that harvest adjacent to park has the potential to substantially reduce wolf sightings. Harvest of wolves adjacent to protected areas can reduce sightings within those areas despite minimal impacts on the size of protected wolf populations. Consumptive use of carnivores adjacent to protected areas may therefore reduce their potential for non-consumptive use, and these tradeoffs should be considered when developing regional wildlife management policies.

This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on monitoring the wolf population that utilize Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (YUCH). Wolves are of great importance to people from both consumptive and non-consumptive viewpoints, and to the ecosystem as a whole. From a monitoring standpoint, wolves are considered to be good indicators of long-term habitat change within park ecosystems because they depend on healthy populations of large ungulate prey, which in turn respond to vegetation, weather and other habitat patterns across the entire landscape. As a top predator, wolves can play a key role in influencing ungulate populations, and as a result may influence vegetation patterns. The effects of wolves on ungulate populations may be important determinants of ungulate availability for subsistence harvest on NPS Park and Preserve lands in Alaska, and harvest by the general public on NPS Preserve lands.

This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolf populations have been monitored in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (YUCH) from March 1993 to present. Beginning October 2005 the project was incorporated into CAKN Vital signs monitoring program. While the primary objectives of wolf monitoring will be to track the distribution and abundance of wolves, a variety of accessory data will be obtained in the monitoring process that are likely to be valuable for wildlife management and research.
