I came across a print version of this publication today and found that you can read it online. I just thought I'd pass this along for those of you who, like me, love learning in depth about Yellowstone (and didn't already know about this). This month's issue was of particular interest to me because it was all about grizzly bear recovery in the GYE over the last 40 years. I haven't read the whole thing, but I did see some cool maps showing the increase in the grizzly range, the locations of their food sources, etc. I had been really frustrated because all the range maps I could find online were outdated and didn't show that grizzlies had reached the Northern Winds and other areas. Now, we finally have updated maps, at least of the Yellowstone area. Anyway, here's the link to the latest issue. http://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/yellowstone-science-23-2.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/yellowstone-science-23-2.htm
Maps of the grizzly bear range can be found here. There was also an interesting analysis of grizzly bear behavior around occupied backcountry campsites in this section that could ease some people's fears of camping in grizzly country.

And this one has a map of bear food sources, who manages the land, and stuff.
