Activity, movement, home range and habitat use of an adult gray wolf in a Mediterranean landscape of northern Greece

We present the results of a study on the activity patterns of a wolf in northwestern Greece (2011– 2012). The home range of the wolf was 460.5 km2 , while the core area was 88.9 km2 and included mainly areas with tree cover and agricultural areas. On three occasions the wolf unsuc- cessfully tried to cross a highway, highlighting the neces- sity to identify habitat corridors and effectively mitigate the effects of transportation infrastructure on the species in Greece. Based on these results we propose the increase of research and management actions for the effective protection of wolves in the country
