Akaike’s Information criteria (AIC_c) of linear mixed-effects models¹ to examine relationships of covariates² with home-range size (km²; 95% <i>a</i>-local convex hull) of male grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

1Results based on log transformation of home-range size and z-score transformation of WBP and DI. 2Covariates: period = pre-impact (1989–1999) and impact (2007–2012) periods, cohort = age class, DI = density index, WBP = proportion of whitebark pine in home range adjusted for tree mortality during the impact period. Year and individual bear were included as random effects. The number of locations used to create each home range was included in all models. The 95% confidence intervals for the model-averaged beta estimates of all covariates overlapped zero.
