Wolf survival and population trend using non-invasive capture-recapture techniques in the Western Alps (2009, methodology): “Packs are the primary social unit of a wolf population, but the population includes lone wolves – typically dispersers, too (Fuller et al. 2003).”
Estimating gray wolf pack size and family relationships using noninvasive genetic sampling at rendezvous sites (2011, background): “Several studies suggest that wolf populations can sustain 29–50% human-caused mortality without population-level reduction (Adams et al. 2008; Fuller et al. 2003), but substantial impacts on their social structure could result from these high levels of human-caused mortality (Haber 1996; Rutledge…”
Death from anthropogenic causes is partially compensatory in recovering wolf populations. (2010, background): “However, it is notable that wolf populations have a high propensity for demographic response to perturbation (Keith, 1983; Fuller et al., 2003), implying that lesser compensatory responses may occur in other survival-driven species faced with similar levels of anthropogenic mortality when in…”
Managing wolves (Canis lupus) to recover threatened woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Alberta (2014, background): “Indeed, our own removal rates showed no trend during the study, suggesting a continually replenishing local wolf population, maintained through the documented high dispersal (Fuller et al. 2003) and reproductive rates (Webb et al. 2011).”
Noninvasive sampling and genetic variability, pack structure, and dynamics in an expanding wolf population (2014, background): “Pack size and composition, prey abundance, and habitat availability determine the demographic trends of wolf populations (Fuller et al. 2003; Stahler et al. 2013).”
Trophic cascades in a multicausal world: Isle Royale and Yellowstone (2014, background): “Data taken from Fuller et al. (2003).”
Congenital bone deformities and the inbred wolves (Canis lupus) of Isle Royale (2009, background): “Despite high rates of inbreeding, key demographic properties of the Isle Royale population are comparable to outbred populations of wolves (see Fuller et al., 2003).”
Effects of Variable Sampling Frequencies on GPS Transmitter Efficiency and Estimated Wolf Home Range Size and Movement Distance (2006, background): “Reviews comparing home range size or movement distances between different animal populations (e.g., Fuller and Murray 1998, Girard et al. 2002, Fuller et al. 2003) may be flawed if sampling protocols are inconsistent between studies.”
