RELIABILITY, ACCURACY, AND TRACKING TECHNIQUES OF INUIT HUNTERS IN ESTIMATING POLAR BEAR CHARACTERISTICS FROM TRACKS

Inuit estimates of polar bear characteristics from tracks could complement ongoing capture-mark-recapture methods to frequently monitor polar bear populations in response to climate-induced habitat changes. Before the inclusion of these Inuit track estimates, they need to be evaluated for reliabilit...
