This book is a compilation of selected papers presented at the Second North American Symposium on Wolves, held in Edmonton in August 1992.
A comprehensive annotated bibliography on wolves - their ecology, conservation and management. Includes references contained in Ecology and Conservation of Wolves in a Changing World, supplemented by references recovered through a search of various databases and personal collections.
Some of the papers given at a Workshop on Native Peoples and Wildlife Management held in 1986. Includes papers on the Cree of James Bay, Inuit and Sami. Individual papers are catalogued separately.
Carbyn's tale is an adventurous first-person narrative of a scientist in one of the most remote places on earth-Wood Buffalo National Park in northwestern Canada-studying the only remaining predator-prey relationship of wolves and bison. As remote as the park is, however, the long reach of human civilization is everywhere to be found. An odd collaboration of ranchers, government officials and conservation groups propose that all the bison be killed because they harbor diseases - tuberculosis, brucellosis, and anthrax. The threat to cattle is the primary mover, but some conservationists have dreams of a pure herd and want to start over. Carbyn sees it differently, always basing his opinions in science, but also realizing that the bison are part of the long cultural heritage of Canada's native peoples. He expertly navigates through these emotional debates, exploring their twists and turns with insight and compassion.
This study presents the hypothesis that the physical changes in the Peace-Athabasca Delta in northern Alberta (resulting from damming of the Peace River upstream), have favoured the wolf populations in Wood Buffalo National Park at the expense of bison (both plains and wood bison), and that there is urgent need to reverse the hydrological regime.

Proceedings of the Wolf Symposium held in Edmonton, May 12-14, 1981. Papers presented document the status of wolves in Canada, and discuss some of the problems related to their conservation.
In 1998, biologists and endangered species experts met at an international symposium on swift foxes held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, to exchange information and identify the state-of-the-science of swift fox ecology and status in North America. Papers presented at the symposium, together with other written afterwards, are brought together in this peer-reviewed volume.
