Status of Wolves in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago

"Three subspecific forms of the gray wolf (Canis lupus spp.) have been recognized in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago: C.L. arctos Pocock, the Canadian Polar wolf; C.L. bernardi Anderson, the Banks Island tundra wolf; and C.L. manningi Anderson, the Baffin Island tundra wolf. All existing data indicate that wolf numbers and densities are low throughout the archipelago, although those values apparently are higher in the Baffin Island region and the southern tier of Arctic Islands than on the Queen Elizabeth Islands"--Abstract.
