RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF SALMON BODY SIZE AND ARRIVAL TIME AT BREEDING GROUNDS TO REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS (2005, background): “Fish not recovered were probably washed out by high flows and tides or were removed by bears (Gende et al. 2004).”
Alternatives to statistical hypothesis testing in ecology: a guide to self teaching. (2006, background): “A model of brown bear predation on salmon predicted both the number of fish eaten by bears on each day, and the time the fish had spent in the spawning stream (Gende et al. 2004).”
Macronutrient optimization and energy maximization determine diets of brown bears (2014, background): “…(Melursus ursinus), and sun bears (Helarctos malayanus) have the opportunity to consume high-lipid foods (e.g., nuts, some tropical fruits, marine mammals, eggs, and reproducing insects [(Stirling and McEwan 1975; Mattson et al. 1992; Joshi et al. 1997; Gende et al. 2004; Steinmetz et al. 2013]).”
Transportation of Pacific salmon carcasses from streams to riparian forests by bears (2009, background): “In general, bears selectively prey on newly arrived fish but can accomplish this only in small creeks that facilitate predation ( Gende et al. 2004a ).”
