To survive winter hibernation, brown bears (Ursus arctos) need to store excess energy during late summer and autumn. Scandinavian brown bears usually have an abundance of berries to feed on, but their distribution varies depending on forest structure and age. Especially on newly cut clearcuts, berry distribution is patchy, but berry production in these patches is exceptionally high. My aim was to model fine-scale temporal variation in berry production in the first years after forest cutting and determine whether bears adjust their space according to forage on clearcuts where berries are abundant. Using plot surveys on clearcuts in south-central Sweden, I collected bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) and lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idea) fro...
