Abstract
Methods
This dataset includes data on brown bear yearling body masses from south-central Sweden, 1990-2016. Included are also litter sizes, maternal size and age, year of capture, and index of local population density. This dataset was used to conduct analyses from the journal article "Trade-off between offspring mass and number: the lightest bear the cost", by Van de Walle, J, Zedrosser, A., Swenson, J.E., and Pelletier, F.
Usage notes
These data were collected as part of the long-term monitoring program of the Scandinavian Brown Bear Research Project.
