Denali National Park and Preserve. The park road provides the main point of access into the park and meanders through prime habitat for much of Denali’s wildlife, and it is only accessible for visitors via bus (Park Map obtained from https://www.nps.gov/carto/).

Heatmaps of each of the study species showing overlay between the tourist and resident collected data. (a) Grizzly bear observations from tourist (green) and resident (blue) volunteers (with resampled tourist data due to differences in sample size-resampling methods described in the Methods section). The overlay is shown in red. (b) Caribou Observations from tourist and resident volunteers. (c) Moose observations from tourist and resident volunteers.
Figure 4
Results from L Function analysis of tourist and resident (a) Grizzly bear, (b) caribou, and (c) moose observations. The solid black line on each graphs shows the observed points. The dotted red line is the expected random pattern, and the grey area bounded by the high/low lines shows the confidence envelope. In each graph, the black line is above the envelope across the considered distances in kilometers (r), indicating the two point datasets are clustered and have similar spatial patterns.
Figure 5
Results from L function analysis of the Map of Life and ROAR program data comparison of Grizzly bear, caribou, and moose observations. Panel a compares the Map of Life and ROAR Bear observations, and the two datasets are clustered. Similarly, in panels b and c, the caribou and moose observation data are also clustered.
