Trajectory of the Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Population under Alternative Survival Rates
The grizzly bear population inhabiting the GYE is of national and international interest. Although this population has increased in size and extent in recent years (Eberhardt et al. 1994, Eberhardt 1995, Boyce et al. 2001, Schwartz et al. 2002), isolation from other grizzly bear populations and continuing human development along its geographic margins justify continued concern about its future....
متن کاملEstimating Grizzly and Black Bear Population Abundance and Trend in Banff National Park Using Noninvasive Genetic Sampling
We evaluated the potential of two noninvasive genetic sampling methods, hair traps and bear rub surveys, to estimate population abundance and trend of grizzly (Ursus arctos) and black bear (U. americanus) populations in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. Using Huggins closed population mark-recapture models, we obtained the first precise abundance estimates for grizzly bears (N= 73.5, 95% CI...
متن کاملGrizzly bear predation links the loss of native trout to the demography of migratory elk in Yellowstone.
The loss of aquatic subsidies such as spawning salmonids is known to threaten a number of terrestrial predators, but the effects on alternative prey species are poorly understood. At the heart of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, an invasion of lake trout has driven a dramatic decline of native cutthroat trout that migrate up the shallow tributaries of Yellowstone Lake to spawn each spring. We...
متن کاملSelecting the best stable isotope mixing model to estimate grizzly bear diets in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
Past research indicates that whitebark pine seeds are a critical food source for Threatened grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). In recent decades, whitebark pine forests have declined markedly due to pine beetle infestation, invasive blister rust, and landscape-level fires. To date, no study has reliably estimated the contribution of whitebark pine seeds to ...
متن کاملDiscovery of the Skull of a Grizzly Bear in Labrador
The skull of a small, young adult grizzly bear was discovered in the course of archaeological excavation of an early historic Eskimo house in northern Labrador. This discovery confirms the rumoured presence of Ursus arctm in Labrador in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is suggested that the Labrador grizzly represents an eastward extension of the barren-ground grizzly population acro...
