My intention wasn't to push anything further; you asked me where I get the idea from that 9y would be the usual age where brown bears completed their growth. The authors mentioned that certain measurements kept growing until 9y of age, some even until 10y of age in the case of peninsula grizzlies, that's where I got the idea from. I just responded to the question that you have asked me.

You are not frank, you are accusing me of posting misinformation. I just posted the numbers of certain datasets and their relation to each other, no interpretation or personal statements attached to it by me.

I mean look at your postings. When you calculated differences in between age classes what comes to Yellowstone NP and Alaskan peninsula you had ~23% and ~34%. Then suddenly with Kodiak bears ~70%... quite a difference there, don´t you think? That kind of difference creates more questions than it gives answers. One obvious thing to look at are used averages and to what those are based on because it looks quite clear, that something has to be wrong. Reply
