Density and genetic diversity of grizzly bears at the northern edge of their distribution
Abstract Species at the periphery of their range are typically limited in density by poor habitat quality. As a result, the central–marginal hypothesis (CMH) predicts a decline in genetic diversity of populations toward the periphery of a species' range. Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) once ranged...
