The Searching Wolf



Recent Wolf Technical Journal Articles

1988 to Present

Visit The Rest of The Searching Wolf Web Site!


      This bibliography contains most of the North American wolf technical journal references from 1988 to the present. It does not include conference proceedings and many non-North American references.


Other Wolf Reference Sources

      I will add references here as they come across my desk from journals and search services. If you have any references of this sort in the time frame noted that you feel should be here, please e-mail them to me. Also, if you find any errors (even nits in formatting) please pass them to me at wolf@auxmail.iup.edu or wforbes@third-wave. Thanks.
