Spatial and temporal interaction of male and female grizzly bears in northwestern Montana
Article Abstract:
A study designed to understand the spatial interactions among grizzly bears in northwest Montana is presented. A number of grizzly bears in the Swan Mountain Range, MT, were captured, classified and radiotagged, and the size of their home range was evaluated. It was found that the home ranges of adult females was smaller than those of subadults, while that of the adult males was larger. Home range overlap was more significant in subadult males and adult females. Habitat conditions, home range size and demography was found to influence the size and overlap of home ranges.

Effects of transportation infrastructure on grizzly bears in Northwestern Montana
Article Abstract:
The effects of a high-speed highway in the US and its associated transportation corridor on the movement and habitat use patterns on resident grizzly bears are described. It is revealed that US Highway- 2 might become a significant barrier to bear movement by 2035, if the observed trend of increasing traffic volume continues.

Population dynamics of snowshoe hares in relation to furbearer harvest
Article Abstract:
The population dynamics of snowshoe hare in 2 areas of southern boreal forest of eastern North America that differed with respect to furbearer harvest is investigated. It is predicted that hare density and survival would be higher in the area with trapping than in the protected area due to differential predator abundance.
