In a small, naturally restored, population grey wolves Scandinavia, founded 1983, we constructed pedigree 24 28 breeding pairs established period 1983–2002. Ancestry animals was determined through combination field data (snow tracking and radio telemetry) DNA microsatellite analysis. by only three individuals. coefficient F varied between 0.00 0.41 born during study period. number surviving pups per litter their first winter after birth strongly correlated with coefficients ( R 2 =0.39, p
