Consequences of severe habitat fragmentation on density, genetics, and spatial capture-recapture analysis of a small bear population.
Loss and fragmentation of natural habitats caused by human land uses have subdivided several formerly contiguous large carnivore populations into multiple small and often isolated subpopulations, which can reduce genetic variation and lead to precipitous population declines. Substantial habitat loss...
