Herbivory Dominates the Spring Diet of American Black Bears (<i>Ursus americanus</i>) in a Wood Bison (<i>Bison bison athabascae</i>) Neonatal Range, Suggesting Minimal Bison Consumption. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we used scat analysis and DNA metabarcoding to analyze the spring diet of black bears in the neonatal range of a small, threatened wood bison herd in northeast Alberta to assess predation risk of neonate bison. Our results suggest that consumption rates of bison are low and that predation risk to neonate wood bison, during the RLBH's ...
