Are There Andean Bears in Panamá

Ursus, 2008
Abstract We present the results of a 2007 survey for Andean bears (Tremarctos ornatus) at Serrania de Pirre, Panama. We surveyed game trails using methodology developed by the Andean Bear Program of the Wildlife Conservation Society. We searched a total of 14 km along 3 trails and found 4 trees with claw marks resembling Andean bear activity signs.

Andean bear management needs and interactions with humans in Colombia

Ursus, 2005
Abstract Andean bears (Tremarctos ornatus) in Colombia face serious threats, including hunting, habitat loss, and bear–human interactions. Interactions are increasing, but data about these encounters are not consistently compiled. Likewise, bear management needs have not been evaluated.

Hematological and serum biochemical values of Andean bears in Ecuador

Ursus, 2010
Abstract We collected blood samples (n = 49) from 43 Andean Bears (Tremarctos ornatus) in Ecuador between September 1995 and May 2006 and analyzed them for 11 serum biochemical and 13 hematological parameters. Results were grouped and compared according to the bears' life condition (captive or free-ranging), sex, age, and body mass.

Marking behavior of Andean bears in an Ecuadorian cloud forest: a pilot study

Ursus, 2017
Very little is known about marking behavior of the endangered Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus). Here, we present a first detailed description of Andean bear marking behavior obtained using camera traps. From November 2012 to April 2013, we inspected 16 bear trails in the Napo province of eastern Ecuador, and installed camera traps (n = 3) at marking ...

Genetic evidence confirms presence of Andean bears in Argentina

Ursus, 2014
Abstract The Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus) is found throughout the Andes Mountains from Venezuela to Bolivia. However, little is known about its distribution and range in southern areas, including Argentina. Our objective was to develop a genetic marker to identify this species by analysis of non-invasive samples (i.e., hair or feces). We designed a

Andean Bear Livestock Depredation and Community Perceptions in Northern Ecuador

Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 2016
ABSTRACTHuman–carnivore conflicts are a major cause of the decline in global carnivore populations. Since 2009, Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus) depredation incidents in Ecuador’s northern Andes cordillera have reached unprecedented levels: more than 320 livestock deaths.
