Spatial patterns of reproduction suggest marginal habitat limits continued range expansion of black bears at a forest‐desert ecotone

Abstract Investigating spatial patterns of animal occupancy and reproduction in peripheral populations can provide insight into factors that form species range boundaries. Following historical extirpation, American black bears (Ursus americanus) recolonized the western Great Basin in Nevada from the...
