Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.
