Chow LS. 1992. Population dynamics and movement patterns of bighorn sheep reintroduced in the Sierra Nevada, California. Cooperative National Park Studies Unit. Technical report NPS/WRUC/NRTR-92/48. National Park Service/University of California at Davis. Davis, CA

The objective of this study was to determine the factors contributing to the success or failure of Lee Vining bighorn sheep reintroduction (Ovis canadensis californiana) which includes Yosemite in its summer range. Topics include: monitoring natality and mortality, determining settlement ranges of transplanted sheep in unfamiliar territory, and documenting home range and seasonal movement patterns to improve future inventory and monitoring.
