Harvest can affect the ecology and evolution of wild species. The removal of key
individuals, such as matriarchs or dominant males, can disrupt social structure
and exacerbate the impact of hunting on population growth. We do not know,
however, how and when the spatiotemporal reorganization takes place after removal
and if such changes can be the mechanism that explain a decrease in population
growth. Detailed behavioral information from individually monitored brown bears,
in a population where hunting increases sexually selected infanticide, revealed
that adult males increased their use of home ranges of hunter-killed neighbors in
the second year after their death. Use of a hunter-killed male's home range was
influenced by the survivor's as well as the hunter-killed male's age, population
density, and hunting intensity. Our results emphasize that hunting can have
long-term indirect effects which can affect population viability.
