Bear Foraging Behavior

The aim of this module is to catalog and observe behavioral foraging patterns in bears using a key-logging program (BORIS). This project and ethogram are based on a 2009 article found in The Journal of Mammalogy.

This module has been used in BSU's Mammalogy (ZOOL 421) course.
