Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating population size of grizzly bears using hair capture, DNA profiling, and mark-recapture analysis
Garth Mowat,Curtis Strobeck +1 more
TL;DR: It is believed that hair capture combined with DNA profiling is a promising technique for estimating distribution and abundance of bears and potentially many other species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major components of grizzly bear diet across North America
Garth Mowat,Douglas C. Heard +1 more
TL;DR: The majority of carbon and nitrogen assimilated by most coastal grizzly bear populations was derived from salmon, while interior populations usually derived a much smaller fraction of their nutrients from Salmon, even in areas with relatively large salmon runs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Michael F. Proctor,David Paetkau,Bruce N. McLellan,Gordon B. Stenhouse,Katherine C. Kendall,Richard D. Mace,Wayne F. Kasworm,Christopher Servheen,Cori L. Lausen,Michael L. Gibeau,Wayne L. Wakkinen,Mark A. Haroldson,Garth Mowat,Clayton D. Apps,Lana M. Ciarniello,Robert M. R. Barclay,Mark S. Boyce,Charles C. Schwartz,Curtis Strobeck +18 more
TL;DR: This paper studied the current state and potential causes of fragmentation in grizzly bears over approximately 1,000,000 km 2 of western Canada, the northern United States (US), and southeast Alaska.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lynx population dynamics in an untrapped refugium
Brian G. Slough,Garth Mowat +1 more
TL;DR: A network of permanently assigned untrapped areas are recommended to facilitate normal lynx population responses to changing snowshoe hare densities, to prevent local extinctions, and to maximize lynx harvests over a complete population cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating marten Martes americana population size using hair capture and genetic tagging
Garth Mowat,David Paetkau +1 more
TL;DR: Hair sampling and genetic analysis could be used to measure population distribution, trend and size for marten, and perhaps also for other carnivores.
