A multivariate model of female black bear habitat use for a geographic information system

Article Abstract:

A multivariate model based on the Mahalanobis distance and the geographic information system (GIS) technology helps in modeling landscape habitat use for female black bears (Ursus americanus) in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. This technique is advantageous as areas of high habitat use potential which cannot be identified by a single habitat map layer can be detected by the model.

Ecology of Florida black bears in the Okefenokee-Osceola ecosystem

Article Abstract:

Florida black bears in 2 areas in the Okefenokee-Osceola ecosystem in southeast Georgia and north Florida from 1995 to 1999 are studied to evaluate relationships between populations characteristics, habitat conditions, and human activities. The effect of varying availability and abundance of food on black bear population dynamics are found in the Okefenokee-Osceola ecosystem.
