Summary:
Brown bears are faced with a challenge: They need to consume lots of salmon each year, but salmon only are available for a few weeks in each shallow spawning ground. Now new research shows that bears greatly extend their use of salmon resources by migrating from one run to another.

Cool research although kind of a given?

Humans do the same thing after all. Predators gonna predate to the max. Hope the study helps highlight the benefits of having various runs of salmon though.
