Brown Bear (U. arctos) literature - body weight data

[thenormalguy]

This thread is solely a bibliographic listing of references with brown bears (Ursus arctos) body weight data [which can comprise body weight data of other species aswell from times to times)

I made it myself.

I follow certains "rules" for my list

1. I listed and list studies from the earliest to the most recent.
2. Alphabetical order of authors by year.

To keep this thread clean, please comment as little as possible, and either mail me or mentioned me if you find a study with black bears body weights that i did not listed. Putting links out of the blue or screenshots of a table isn't pretty and can be easily confounding and disruptive in this kind of thread.

Thank you brobear theundertaker45
