Abstract
This project represents a social scientific investigation of the emergence of patterned relations among wolf packs in a colonizing wolf population. Data analyzed were collected by the National Parks Service's Wolf Project. The formation of structurally endogamous mating alliances is explored using P-Graph methodology and Parente Suite software programs. Qualitative techniques were also employed to explore the social structure among wolf packs in Yellowstone National Park (YNP). Findings suggest that a multi-level social organization exists among YNP wolves.
