Grizzly bear mortalities in the Yellowstone Ecosystem 1959-1987
Craighead JJ, Greer KR, Knight RR, Pac HI. 1988. Grizzly bear mortalities in the Yellowstone Ecosystem 1959-1987
This summary employs three categories that define the status of a grizzly bear mortality. A "known" status indicates that a carcass had been recovered or there was evidence that a mortality occurred due to radio telemetry. A "Probable" status indicates that there is strong evidence of the mortality due to reports from highly reliable sources, but the mortality is not absolute since no carcass was recovered. A "Possible" status is listed when there is presumptive evidence of a mortality, but there is not immediate prospect of validation (this is highly speculative).
