Leadership in Wolf, Canis lupus, Packs.
Entry ID:
usgs_npwrc_canislupus
Summary
Abstract:
L. David Mech examined leadership in Wolf (Canis lupus) packs based on
published observations and data gathered during summers from 1986 to 1998 studying a free-ranging pack of Wolves on Ellesmere Island that were habituated to my presence. The breeding male tended to initiate activities associated with foraging and travel, and the breeding female to initiate, and predominate in, pup care and protection. However, there was considerable overlap and interaction during these activities such that leadership could be considered a joint function. In packs with multiple breeders, quantitative information about leadership is needed.

Refer to the documentation included with the data.
Note there is a group of pixels with positive elevation, but less than 1 metre, to the south-west of Heard Island at about 53 degrees 6'53"S 73 degrees 15'1"E. These are likely to be artefacts in the DEM.
