Abstract
Packs are the basic social and breeding groups of wolf (Canis spp.) populations and are often the sampling unit for wolf research. Researchers commonly assume that telemetry data from one or more individual wolf can be used to represent the space use, distribution, presence, and resource selection of the pack. This study tests these critical assumptions using GPS telemetry by directly comparing home range size, probability of spatial overlap, seasonal proximity, and habitat use of individuals within wolf packs in central and northern Ontario, Canada, between 2006 and 2010.
