Ancient bears provide insights into Pleistocene ice age refugia in Southeast Alaska ...
During the Late Pleistocene, major parts of North America were periodically covered by ice sheets. However, there are still questions about whether ice-free refugia were present in the Alexander Archipelago along the Southeast (SE) Alaska coast during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Numerous subfoss...
