Uncovering the enigmatic evolution of bears in greater depth: The hybrid origin of the Asiatic black bear [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Bears are fascinating mammals because of their complex pattern of speciation and rapid evolution of distinct phenotypes. Interspecific hybridization has been common and has shaped the complex evolutionary history of bears. In this study, based on the largest population-level genomic dataset to date involving all Ursinae species and recently developed ...

Dietary specialization depending on ecological context and sexual differences in Asiatic black bears.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The food habits of the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) are well studied, but there is a little evidence of dietary specialization-that is, when individuals use a narrower set of resources compared to the population as a whole.

Foot-and-mouth disease in Asiatic black bears ( Ursus thibetanus ) [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2014
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious, debilitating, and globally significant viral disease typically affecting cloven-hoofed hosts. The diagnosis of FMD in bears in Vietnam is described. The current study describes a confirmed case of FMD in a bear species, and the clinical signs compatible with FMD in a Malayan sun bear.
