To estimate minimum population size, individual identification, and prey selection of wolves through analyses of DNA recovered from scat. Prey selection of three other sympatric carnivore species including mountain lions (Puma concolor), black bears (Ursus americanus), and coyotes (Canis latrans) will also be assessed. In addition, the current attitudes of the White Mountain Apache and San Carlos Tribe with respect to the presence of wolves on the Reservations will be assessed.
