La Vine, Kristen P. THE ATTITUDES OF UTAH RESIDENTS TOWARD GRAY WOLVES (CANIS LUPUS). Masters Abstracts International. Volume: 34-01, page: 0197. Abstract This study was a proactive effort to formulate a basis for gray wolf (Canis lupus) management in Utah before wolves arrive in the state. A sociological survey of 1215 Utah residents and 400 public land grazing permittees was used to understand the attitudes of Utah residents toward gray wolves. Comparison of responses were made between metropolitan and non-metropolitan residents, between big game hunters and non-hunters, and between permittees and the general public. Results of this survey were compared with results from similar studies completed in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Surveys of these other states were done in a social environment in which wolves were either present or had planned to be reintroduced. A map of hypothetical gray wolf habitat in Utah and an informational brochure on wolf ecology and habitat use was supplied to some respondents to see if attitudes would be affected by different amounts of information.
Honeyager, a Thomas. THE POTENTIAL FOR TIMBER WOLF RECOVERY IN THE NICOLET NATIONAL FOREST ANDADJACENT AREAS (SUITABLE HABITAT IDENTIFICATION, PREY BASE, WISCONSIN). Dissertation Abstracts International. Volume: 53-08, Section: A, page: 2934. Abstract The Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (E.S.A.) requires suitable habitat for the possible recovery of endangered species be identified, when feasible. The Eastern Timber Wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) was listed as an endangered species in 1974. Northern Wisconsin is suggested as having the potential to sustain a viable population of wolves in the original 1978 (Federal) Timber Wolf Recovery Plan. The dispersal of wolves from Minnesota into portions of northwestern Wisconsin in the late 1970s reinforced that supposition. Additional packs have subsequently been identified, but no pack activity has been noted in northeastern Wisconsin. To assess that region's potential, the Nicolet National Forest and adjacent counties are examined and compared to present wolf areas. Prey availability is examined in reference to the abundance of White-Tailed deer (Odecoileus virginianus), beaver (Castor canadensis), and hare (Lepus sp.). Records from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (D.N.R.) and the U.S. Forest Service are utilized to determine the potential prey base. Consumptive needs of the maximum projected wolf population is calculated and prey is found not to be a limiting factor. Depredation potential is examined using data from the Minnesota Depredation Reimbursement Program, with loss projections assuming a similar wolf density in the Study Area. Losses are projected to amount to between $7,000 to $12,000 annually. Human population density of the Study Area is compared to published estimates of wolf tolerance levels and is found to exceed those levels. Comparison to similarly derived human density levels in areas of wolf pack activity refutes prior suggested tolerance levels and concludes that the Study Area has an acceptable human density. Hiking, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing are found to be at unobtrusive levels. Road density of the Study Area is examined, but is found to exceed previously published limits of wolf tolerance. However, the previous research on wolf tolerance of road density is found to be flawed and unusable, precluding the disqualification of the Study Area. Canine disease records are incomplete in Wisconsin, making assessment difficult. Based on published accounts of diseases that affect wolves, the conclusion is drawn that current DNR inoculating procedures do provide worthwhile protection and merit continuation. The potential for a sylvatic rabies outbreak in the near future, however, is high. The sociological acceptability of wolf recovery is assessed by means of a questionnaire that was distributed to 201 Nicolet National Forest users. A majority (82%) favor wolf recovery to some extent, yet 48% expressed a fear of wolves. The generally favorable disposition of the respondents in combination with the positive assessments of the preceding variables, leads to the conclusion that wolves can and will eventually inhabit the Nicolet National Forest.
