Once we address each of these basic questions, we can also evaluate the implications of our results as it relates to climate change to understand what actions are needed to conserve grizzly bears in the future. Our team is using genotypes collected across the 8 million acre Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem between 1998 and 2012 to build the family tree." }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "Funding: Glacier National Park Conservancy, NSF, David H.
