Distribution of study sites and relative snowshoe hare abundances in relation to natural fires in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. The solid outline is the park border, and the shaded line within the park is the Continental Divide, which we used to separate the park into east and west in multivariate analyses. Areas burned in 2003 were excluded from this study because sites could not have regenerated sufficiently to support hares by the time of this study (2005 to 2007).
