Influence of Campsites on Black Bear Habitat Use and Potential Impact on Caribou Restoration
Abstract Ursus americanus (black bear) predation could limit the success of the proposed restoration of Rangifer tarandus (woodland caribou) to Minnesota. The problem was recently identified as a major factor in the failure of a similar restoration effort in Maine. During the summer of 1991 we condu...
