Since most wolf (Canis lupus) diet studies have been conducted in inland ecosystems, comparatively few data are available on diets of wolves in coastal systems. We investigated the diet of wolves in Glacier Bay, Alaska, from 12 May to 28 June in both 2010 and 2011. Although we identified 12 different prey species, including birds and small to medium-sized mammals, in wolf scats, moose (Alces alces) was the most frequent food item, observed in 80% of all scats. In contrast, a study conducted in 1993 in an area 37 km away found harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii) in 41% of wolf scats. Although we cannot account for differences in sampling design between the two studies, wolf diets may have changed between the two time periods. Key words: wolves, Canis lupus, diet, Glacier Bay, Alaska RÉSUMÉ.

Howe (Compiler) INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS By David A. Brew The entries in this bibliography span almost two centuries of the human history, scientific research, and exploration activities in the Glacier Bay region of southeastern Alaska (Fig. 1). The reports, articles, and maps listed cover a wide variety of topics, but they are all unified by one common concern. That concern is the quest for knowledge about all aspects of the region. Almost without exception, the scientists and others who have produced this material consider themselves privileged to have been part of that quest; it is their hope that this bibliography will aid in continuing and expanding comprehensive scientific studies in the region.
