This spatial dataset shows point locations for male and female Florida black bears (Ursus americanus floridanus) wearing WildCell GPS/SMS collars from Lotek Wireless Inc. that were captured and collared in and around the Camp Blanding Wildlife Management Area in north central Florida. These locations were collected by FWC staff as part of the study “Black Bear Habitat Use in Camp Blanding Wildlife Management Area and Movements within the Ocala to Osceola Linkage” under contract by the Department of Military Affairs, Florida Army National Guard. The objectives of the study were to: identify current black bear spatial patterns and movements in Camp Blanding WMA and the Ocala to Osceola Corridor (O2O) to reveal core habitat and seasonal habitat use patterns and important food resources that drive movements across the fragmented landscape; identify lands of high conservation value within the O2O corridor to help plan for restoring and maintaining connectivity; and to assess black bear reproduction. |
