Habitat use by the wolf (Canis lupus L.) in North Lithuania
Habitat use by wolves was researched with the aim to understand their visiting frequency of different landscape sites, priorities for resting place selection and the influence of anthropogenic factors on wolves' activity. Snow tracking of wolves was conducted through the winters of 2003/2004 an...
