Population, distribution and food composition of wolves ( Canis lupus ) at Saihanwula Nature Reserve, Inner Mongolia
To provide initial value for population restoration and management of wolves ( Canis lupus ) in the wild, line transect survey and fecal analysis method were used to study the population ecology of wolf at Saihanwula National Nature Reserve, Inner Mongolia. The results revealed that the population n...
