Abstract

We provide additional information addressing the issue of whether American bison (Bison bison) were generally absent or present in Yellowstone National Park prior to its establishment in 1872.
Our results support Keigley's conclusion that bison herds before the mid-1800s were absent in Yellowstone National park, and particularly the park's northern range.
Our results also support Keigley's conclusion that bison had no significant role in the ecological processes that helped shape the park's original landscape.
