Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.
