Genetically,
Bison Don't Measure Up to Frontier Ancestors- April
2002 By MARK DERR (NYT) ABSTRACT - Genetic study led by Texas
A&M geneticist Dr James Derr finds that more than 90 percent
of private bison and many animals in publicly owned herds
are actually bison-cow hybrids; finding reduces pool of pure
bison available for preserving species to fewer than 15,000
animals (Word Document, 4

Spatial
Aspects of Bison Density Dependence in Yellowstone National
Park- October 2000 This paper capitalizes on a unique
opportunity provided by the record of the bison population
of Yellowstone National Park (YNP). This population has been
intensely monitored for almost four decades. There does not
appear to be another comparable data set in existence for
a very large highly gregarious herbivore (G. Caughley pers.
comm. to MM). This population has a long historical record
with some information dating back to 1860 (Meagher 1970, 1973).
Further, the YNP bison herds have been the subject of long-term
detailed and continuous ecological study since 1963. (PDF-
