Description
Bailey Kleeberg and five co-authors study black bears at the edge of their range in Oklahoma, in a paper published in twenty twenty-five. Sightings have risen in the Oklahoma Panhandle, outside the bears' historic range. The team set camera traps and gathered hair for gene tests to learn how the bears use the land and where they came from.
Cameras at one hundred sixty sites over two summers caught bears at twenty. Warm, wet weather raised detection, while higher ground lowered how much bears used a site. Hair snares and tissue from New Mexico hunts identified dozens of bears. Gene results showed the Oklahoma bears extend a population from north-central New Mexico. The group also showed a shortage of mixed gene pairs, a sign worth watching.
