Movement Metrics of Adult Female Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears Used to Identify Cub Presence with Machine Learning

These data represent movement metrics of adult female grizzly bears and polar bears with and without cubs-of-the-year at seven temporal scales after den departure. Grizzly bear data were collected in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem during 2000–2021 and in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem during 2003–2022. Polar bear data were collected in the Southern Beaufort Sea during 1986–2016 and in the Chukchi Sea during 2008–2017. These data were used to train support vector machines (SVM) used to predict cub presence or absence.
