Dynamic wildlife habitat models: Seasonal foods and mortality risk predict occupancy-abundance and habitat selection in grizzly bears (2010, methodology): “When in the presence of maladaptive habitat selection, the management for selected habitats may even hasten population decline by adding ecological traps/attractive sinks (Schlaepfer et al., 2002; Nielsen et al., 2006, 2008).”
Some mechanisms underlying variation in vital rates of grizzly bears on a multiple use landscape (2015, background): “For large carnivores, understating bottom-up forces is more difficult, particularly for omnivorous bears because their diet changes seasonally and includes many species of plants, insects, mammals, and fish (Mattson et al. 1991, McLellan and Hovey 1995, Munro et al. 2006).”
Quantifying Grizzly Bear Selection of Natural and Anthropogenic Edges (2013, background): “Munro et al. (2006) associated ungulate kills with wetland forests during late spring.”
Identification of Priority Areas for Grizzly Bear Conservation and Recovery in Alberta, Canada (2009, background): “Because habitat use for grizzly bears varies by time of year (Nielsen et al. 2004b, Munro et al. 2006), RSFs were estimated for each of three seasons representing the hypophagia (low food intake) period in the spring after den emergence (1 May to 15 June), the early hyperphagia (high food intake)…”
Grizzly bears and forestry: II: Grizzly bear habitat selection and conflicts with road placement (2008, background): “, 2008), which become more abundant in bear diets in spring and early summer when other resources are limiting (Munro et al., 2006).”
Implications of a high-energy and low-protein diet on the body composition, fitness, and competitive abilities of black (Ursus americanus) and grizzly (Ursus arctos) bears (2011, background): “Yet huckleberries (or other Vaccinium species) are the dominant food consumed by bears in many areas for up to 2 months each year (McLellan and Hovey 1995; Munro et al. 2006).”
Do bears know they are being hunted (2012, background): “Although in remote areas of North America bears are primarily diurnal (e.g. Munro et al., 2006), and are active for up to 17–18 h/ day during hyperphagia, feeding 80% of the time (Welch et al., 1997), bears in Europe are active only 12 h/day during hyperphagia, with a marked resting period at…”
