Predicting future grizzly bear habitat use in the Bitterroot Ecosystem under recolonization and reintroduction scenarios: spatial data Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) habitat use maps delineate predicted habitat use for grizzly bears around the Bitterroot Ecosystem (BE), a federally designated recovery zone in western Montana and central Idaho. These raster data are the official data release for Sells and Costello (2024), “Predicting future grizzly bear habitat use in the Bitterroot Ecosystem under recolonization and reintroduction scenarios.” Many conservation actions must be implemented with limited data. This is especially true when planning recovery efforts for extirpated populations, such as grizzly bears within the Bitterroot Ecosystem (BE), where strategies for reestablishing a resident population are being evaluated. Here, we applied individual-based... Tags: Bitterroot Ecosystem, Bitterroot Ecosystem, Idaho, Montana, Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem, All tags...

A RSP algorithm was used to estimate the average number of net passages for all grid cells at a spatial resolution of 300 m in the study region which spans parts of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. RSP rasters identify potential movement paths for 3 levels of random deviation determined by the parameter Θ (i.e., Θ = 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001) for bears moving from an origin to a destination node. Lower values of Θ result in greater exploration and more random deviation around...

In recent decades, these populations have increased and expanded in size and range due to collaborative conservation efforts and protections under the Endangered Species Act. Today, population estimates exceed 1000 animals each in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) and Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). The Selkirk Ecosystem (SE) has approximately 50 grizzly bears, and augmentations into the Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystem (CYE) helped boost the population to an estimated 50 – 60...

Whereas the NCDE population is contiguous with grizzly bear populations in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, genetic evidence suggests the GYE population remains isolated. Recent analyses indicate the effective population size of GYE grizzly bears has increased and is approaching levels needed for long-term viability. With only ~110 km distance separating current estimates of occupied range for these populations, the potential for immigration into the GYE from an NCDE migrant, or vice versa, is likely greater now than...

To assist with conservation planning, we sought to predict habitat use and connectivity pathways for grizzly bears east of the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) and northeast of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). We used the methods described in Sells et al. (2023b), "Predicted connectivity pathways between grizzly bear ecosystems in Western Montana," to simulate grizzly bear movements along the edges of the NCDE and GYE and into central Montana. Simulated grizzly bears used riparian areas in the plains most heavily, along with isolated mountain ranges. Based on known outlier locations and locations...

Measuring the performance-density relationship in long-lived mammalian species demands long-term data, limiting the ability to observe such mechanisms. We tested density-dependent (intrinsic) and density-independent (extrinsic) drivers of body composition of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem over two decades.
