Abstract: | We report on daily patterns of Wolf (Canis lupus) departures from, and returns to, their den on Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories, Canada (80 ÀöN) during summers between 1988 and 1996. Based on 1759 h of observation, the Wolves departed more often than random during 2200 to 0400 h. There was no darkness during summer, so any sun-based temporal cues must have come from sun position. |
