Population and social characteristics in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem

Society & Natural Resources, 1993
Abstract Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding areas are acclaimed for the quality and preservation of their natural environment. The social system enmeshed with that natural environment has received minimal theoretical consideration. The natural and human environments are interdependent, each largely dependent yet conceptually independent of ...

Distribution of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in 2004

Ursus, 2006
Abstract The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) proposed delisting the Yellowstone grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) in November 2005. Part of that process required knowledge of the most current distribution of the species. Here, we update an earlier estimate of occupied range (1990–2000) with data through 2004.

Ecosystem Preservation and the Economy in the Greater Yellowstone Area

Conservation Biology, 1991
Abstract: Because it is usually assumed that the economic health of the counties surrounding Yellowstone National Park is tied almost exclusively to mineral and timber extraction, protection of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem is seen as inevitably in direct and serious conflict with local economic well‐being ...

Dietary breadth of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

Ursus, 2014
Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) are opportunistic omnivores that eat a great diversity of plant and animal species. Changes in climate may affect regional vegetation, hydrology, insects, and fire regimes, likely influencing the abundance, range, and elevational distribution of the plants and animals consumed by ...

Case Study: Whitebark Pine in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

2016
Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis), an iconic tree species generally associated with upper subalpine ecosystems, provides an excellent case study for studying the potential impacts of climate change on a species at the landscape level and how it affects the conservation of that species.

Pumas as ecosystem engineers: ungulate carcasses support beetle assemblages in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

Oecologia, 2018
Ecosystem engineers create physical changes in abiotic and biotic material, and through this process control the availability of resources for other species. Predators that abandon large portions of their prey may be ecosystem engineers that create habitat for carrion-dependent invertebrates that utilize carcasses during critical life-history periods ...

Persistence of canine distemper virus in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem's carnivore community

Ecological Applications, 2010
Canine distemper virus (CDV) is an acute, highly immunizing pathogen that should require high densities and large populations of hosts for long‐term persistence, yet CDV persists among terrestrial carnivores with small, patchily distributed groups. We used CDV in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem's (GYE) wolves (Canis lupus) and coyotes (Canis latrans)

A CLG in the Wilderness: Cooperative Local Preservation in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

2016
The Shoshone National Forest (Northwestern Wyoming) encompasses some of the most remote, inaccessible landscapes in the continental United States with 56% (1.4 million acres) designated Wilderness. Documenting, researching, and managing heritage resources in these Wilderness areas provides special challenges.
