Assessment rationale/justification
This wolf may be a separate species. Its exact range is not known, partly because it hybridizes with grey wolves. Although there is no evidence of decline in either number or geographic range over the last 20 years, it may be undergoing hybridization with coyotes, possibly exacerbated by habitat changes and high levels of harvesting. Identification of this taxon requires a molecular analysis.; Ce loup pourrait être une espèce distincte. Son aire de répartition exacte n'est pas connue, en partie en raison de l'hybridation avec le loup gris. Bien qu'il n'y ait aucune preuve de diminution du nombre d'individus ou de l'aire de répartition géographique depuis les 20 dernières années, il est possible que l'espèce s'hybride avec les coyotes; phénomène qui s'est peut-être aggravé par des changements de l'habitat et de l'exploitation forestière massive. L'identification de ce taxon exige une analyse moléculaire.

Assessment rationale/justification
The total population has not been estimated, and analyses have not been undertaken to determine whether there is significant subpopulation structure. Overall the subspecies is common and believed to be adaptable to change. It is often found in marine areas used by people and is susceptible to shooting. No serious immediate threats have been identified over any substantial part of its range.; La population totale n'a pas été estimée, et aucune analyse n'a été entreprise pour déterminer s'il existe une structuration marquée des sous-populations. Dans l'ensemble, la sous-espèce est commune et on croit qu'elle s'adapte aux changements. On la trouve souvent dans les zones marines fréquentées par l'humain, et elle est susceptible d'être chassée. Aucune menace imminente sérieuse n'a été relevée dans aucune portion importante de son aire de répartition.

Assessment rationale/justification
This vole has very strict habitat requirements and it is mostly found within the Carolinian Forest zone, which is under heavy pressure from human development. Populations are fragmented and undergo wide fluctuations in numbers. Because of its fossorial habits, presence and abundance of this vole are difficult to document, but almost all records from the past 25 years are confined to a small section of Ontario.; Ce campagnol possède des exigences très strictes en matière d'habitat. On le trouve principalement dans la zone de la forêt carolinienne, qui subit en ce moment de grandes pressions exercées par le développement anthropique. Les populations sont fragmentées et le nombre d'individus fluctue beaucoup. En raison de son comportement fouisseur, il est difficile de répertorier la présence et l'abondance du campagnol. Cependant, la plupart des données datant des 25 dernières années se limitent à  une petite partie de l'Ontario.
