A Bibliography on Bison

Glenn E. Plumb, Jerrold L. Dodd, and J. Brad Stelfox

This bibiliography lists literature (including selected agency reports and unpublished theses) on North American bison (Bison bison) with selected literature concerning European bison (Bison bonasus) also included. The purpose in compiling this bibliography is to provide a useful reference source for biologists conducting research on bison. Therefore, this list does not include popular articles with little scientific merit. We have also omitted the historical and archeological literature except where relevant discussion applies to bison biology or management.
