Travel specific resource selection by female Kodiak brown bears during the sockeye salmon spawning season
Models identified spatial predictions of the relative probability of selection while bears were travelling during the salmon spawning season and identified areas that contained potential movement corridors important for bears inhabiting Kodiak Island. Our results characterized factors influencing travel, identified important movement corridors, and provided managers with information to make informed resource management decisions.
