P. D. Karns
Best known as a co-author of a landmark study on timber wolves in northeastern Minnesota, this writer is linked to one substantial work rather than a long, widely documented literary career. The surviving public record is sparse, but that book remains of interest to readers drawn to wildlife research and conservation history.

Ecological Studies of the Timber Wolf in Northeastern Minnesota
by L. David Mech, Louis Daniel Frenzel, P. D. Karns, Robert R. Ream, John W. Winship
About the author
Publicly available sources identify P. D. Karns as one of the authors of Ecological Studies of the Timber Wolf in Northeastern Minnesota, a scientific work produced with L. David Mech, Louis Daniel Frenzel, Robert R. Ream, and John W. Winship. Library and Project Gutenberg records consistently connect Karns to that title, and they do not readily show a broader standalone bibliography.
Because reliable biographical material is very limited, it is hard to say much more with confidence about Karns's life beyond this collaboration. What can be said is that the book helped document wolf ecology in northern Minnesota and continues to circulate through library catalogs, ebook archives, and reprints for readers interested in wildlife studies.
If you came across P. D. Karns through this title, it is best to think of the author as part of a research team whose work contributed to the early modern literature on wolves in the American Midwest.
