Large carnivores are amongst the most susceptible species to human activities, and human-modified environments pose a threat to carnivore conservation. Wolves (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758) in the central Apennines, Italy, have coexisted with humans since historic times, and represent a good case study to assess their spatio-temporal response to anthropogenic factors. From 2008-2010, we investigated the spatial behavior of wolves (7 wolves in 5 packs, and 6 floaters) in the Abruzzo Lazio and Molise National Park. Orographycally corrected annual home ranges of resident wolf packs, estimated through the Brownian bridge movement model, averaged 104 (Âą24 SD) km
