From: Biogeographic problem-solving reveals the Late Pleistocene translocation of a short-faced bear to the California Channel Islands

Figure 1

The Late Quaternary range of the short-faced bear, Arctodus simus, in California. Locations of Late Pleistocene (approximately Rancholabrean) Arctodus simus occurrences: white circles indicate presence at a site of indirectly estimated age75,76,77,78,79 and blue circles indicate directly radiocarbon dated specimens27,59. Inset map features the California Channel Islands with coastlines of both the present day and ~ 20,000 years before present6. Yellow circles depict pertinent archaeological sites.
