Rocky road in the Rockies: Challenges to biodiversity
To people worldwide, the Rocky Mountains of the United States and Canada represent a last bastion of nature in its purest and rawest form-unspoiled forests teeming with elk and deer stalked by mountain lions and grizzly bears; bald eagles nesting near lakes and rivers; fat, feisty native trout in rushing mountain streams; and dazzling arrays of...
Baron, Jill; Tomback, Diana F.; Kendall, Katherine C. Status and distribution of whitebark and limber pine in Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton National Parks
To sample and map whitebark pine communities in the greater Glacier-Waterton ecosystem. The information will be combined with data collected at other locales to assess the status of whitebark pine throughout the central and northern Rocky Mountains.
Kendall, Katherine C. Whitebark pine, grizzly bears, and red squirrels
Appropriately enough, much of this book is devoted to discussing management challenges and techniques. However, the impetus for action—the desire to save whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) - necessarily arises from the extent to which we cherish it for its beauty and its connections with other things that we value. Whitebark pine is at the hub of a...
Tomback, Diana F.; Arno, Stephen F.; Keane, Robert E.; Mattson, David J.; Kendall, Katherine C.; Reinhart, Daniel P. Biodiversity losses: The downward spiral
The dramatic decline of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) populations in the northwestern United States and southwestern Canada from the combined effects of fire exclusion, mountain pine beetles (Dendroctonus ponderosae), and white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola), and the projected decline of whitebark pine populations rangewide (Chapters...

Tomback, Diana F.; Arno, Stephen F.; Keane, Robert E.; Kendall, Katherine C.; Keane, Robert E. Workshop proceedings: research and management in whitebark pine ecosystems
The purpose of this workshop is to exchange information on on-going and soon-to-be-initiated whitebark pine research and management projects. By doing so we hope to encourage future work on this valuable species. We also hope to promote the use of consistent methods for evaluation and investigation of whitebark pine, and to provide avenues of...

Kendall, Katherine C. Chromatographic (TLC) differentiation of grizzly bear and black bear scats
While past work concluded that thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was inadequate for the separation of grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis) and black bear (U. americanus) scats, our study found differences adequate for species separation. A key was constructed using 19 of 40 data points recorded on each(N)=356 profiles of 178) know-species scat....
Picton, Harold D.; Kendall, Katherine C. Power of sign surveys to monitor population trend
The urgent need for an effective monitoring scheme for grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) populations led us to investigate the effort required to detect changes in populations of low—density dispersed animals, using sign (mainly scats and tracks) they leave on trails. We surveyed trails in Glacier National Park for bear tracks and scats during five...
