I'm reaserching the realtionship between a lonewolfs territory size, compared to a pack of wolfs territorry size. Our hypothesis is that a pack of wolfs is going to have a larger territorry size than a lonewolfs territory. Mainly I am looking for good sources either related articles or a valid internet baesed site.

Don't know if this site will have the information you need, but it is a great wolf site:

A lone wolf is in the process of finding a pack to belong to, as he is in some packs territory; does not really have a territory of his own. Some horizontal movement between packs at all times, usually young males. Sometimes they start packs of their own, usually with beta females. Sometimes they need to pack up rather quickly, regardless of the status that will be conferred on them. For instance; Canis lupus arctos ( the arctic wolf ) subsists on mostly musk ox, as other game is scarce. Lone wolves in this situation are not long for this world. Now, occidentalis, the Rocky Mountain wolf ( and surrounding area ) can subsists better in a lone state. " Lone wolf ", though, is rather a misnomer for this highly social ( dependent on this ) organism. The above web site is very good.

yes because any wolf not in a pack probably has been ousted from the pack, and thus has no hierarchy, and has really no territory, as a pack is much stronger due to the number in the pack.
