Grizzly bear (ursus arctos) movements and habitat use predict human-caused mortality across temporal scales

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

To manage and conserve grizzly bear populations, the authors need a better understanding of how bear movement and habitat use influence human-caused mortalities. The long-term fRIGBP database of grizzly bear GPS locations across Alberta was used to compare individual movement rates before, during, and after the spring grizzly bear hunt was ended in 2006, and it revealed that bears (especially males) that died as a result of human-caused activities (e_g, hunting, illegal, vehicle collisions, defense of life and property) had higher rates of daytime movement (Bourbonnais 2018).
