KILOMETERS FIGURE 1. Geographic location of the study area in the San Bernardino Mountains, California. METHODS AND MATERIALS The methods and materials used during the course of this investigation have been reported elsewhere (Novick 1979; Siperek 1979; Novick et al. 1981). Radio-telemetry collars (Telonics) were attached to nine bears between May 1976 and December 1977. Monitoring of each bear was achieved on the ground and from fixed wing aircraft. Telemetry locations, determined by triangulation or with close range monitoring, were plotted on 7y2 min topographic maps. The 1000-m Universal Transverse Mercator system was used to assign grid coordi- nates to each location. Home range has classically been described as that area which provides all the essential elements (food, water, cover, denning sites, breeding and nursery areas, etc.) to fulfill an individual's requirements, ensuring its survival. Function- ally, seasonal, annual, and total home ranges are recognized here. These were determined by connecting the outermost telemetry locations, but excluding a few extreme and unusual movements or sallies (Lindzey and Meslow 1977). Total home ranges were based on more than one full year of data. Annual home ranges consisted of three consecutive seasons, usually including a denning loca- tion and defined by at least 25 locality fixes. Seasonal ranges, which are essential- ly components of annual home ranges, were based on a minimum of five locations distributed throughout each season. A compensating polar planimeter.
