Rogers LL. 1987. Effects of Food Supply and Kinship on Social Behavior, Movements, and Population Growth of Black Bears in Northeastern Minnesota. Wildlife Monographs. 97:3-72
Black bears (Ursus americanus) were studied in northeastern Minnesota from 1969 through 1985 to determine (1) the annual cycle of foraging and social behavior, (2) changes in mother-offspring relation- ships from birth through maturity, (3) the influence of food availability on social behavior, movements, and population growth, and (4) important habitat components.
