Effect of seasonal differences in dietary meat intake on changes in body mass and composition in wild and captive brown bears
Grant V. Hilderbrand, S.G. Jenkins, C.C. Schwartz, Thomas A. Hanley, C.T. Robbins
1999, Canadian Journal of Zoology (77) 1623-1630
The influence of seasonal dietary meat intake on changes in body mass and composition in wild and captive brown bears (Ursus arctos) was investigated because the importance and availability of meat to brown bear populations is currently an important management consideration in several North American ecosystems. Adult female brown bears...
Radio-tracking large wilderness mammals: integration of GPS and Argos technologies
Charles C. Schwartz, Steve M. Arthur
1999, Ursus (11) 261-273
We tested 30 prototype global positioning system (GPS) radiocollars on brown bears (Ursus arctos) over a 3-year period on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Collars were of 2 design types: GPS units with an Argos (Argos Data collection and Location System) satellite uplink (n = 19) and GPS units where the...

The oil and gas resource potential of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 1002 area, Alaska
ANWR Assessment Team
1999, Open-File Report 98-34
In anticipation of the need for scientific support for policy decisions and in light of the decade-old perspective of a previous assessment, the USGS has completed a reassessment of the petroleum potential of the ANWR 1002 area. This was a comprehensive study by a team of USGS scientists in collaboration...
Epizootiology of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus in Pacific herring from the spawn-on-kelp fishery in Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA

1999, Diseases of Aquatic Organisms (37) 23-31
Both the prevalence and tissue titer of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) increased in Pacific herring Clupea pallasi following their introduction into net pens (pounds) used in the closed pound spawn-on-kelp (SOK) fishery in Prince William Sound, Alaska. VHSV was also found in water samples from inside and outside the SOK pounds...

1999, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (36) 316-322
Among the waterfowl affected by white phosphorus (P4) at a military base in Alaska are tundra (Cygnus columbianus) and trumpeter (C. buccinator) swans. To estimate the toxicity of P4 to swans and compare the toxic effects to those of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), we dosed 30 juvenile mute swans (C. olor) with...
