Spatial distribution of the threatened Asiatic black bear in northern Pakistan

Ursus, 2021
The Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) is globally listed as “Vulnerable.” Here, we documented its current distribution and the human–bear conflict in Machiara National Park (MNP, northern Pakistan) from 2009 to 2013. Our observations indicated that this bear occurs in all areas of MNP, especially at elevations between 1,600 and 3,300 m above sea ...

Maxillary Ameloblastoma in an Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus)

Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, 2023
An approximately 30-year-old intact female Asiatic black bear ( Ursus thibetanus) was presented for annual examination and a history of ptyalism. A large 9.5 cm × 5 cm × 5 cm, firm, round mass was identified attached to the hard palate on physical examination.

Body mass and physical changes of reintroduced Asiatic black bears

European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2021
The information on animal weight is often an essential component of wildlife management and research. However, it may be difficult to obtain direct scale weights from the free-ranging large animals when equipment needed to weigh the animals are inadequate or unavailable. In these cases, body weight can be estimated by morphometric equation.

Season‐specific habitat restriction in Asiatic black bears, Japan

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2017
ABSTRACTUnderstanding habitat selection by wildlife, particularly in the vicinity of areas dominated by humans, is often important in identifying causes of human–wildlife conflict. With recent increases in the number of Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) in areas near settlements in Japan, there have been more human–bear conflicts.

Secondary constrictions are present in one or more pairs of acrocentrics, similar to those seen in the American black bear. The male animal’s metaphase was kindly supplied by Dr. Rosemary E. Newnham (London, England). Specimens from the female were obtained at Antwerp Zoo (Belgium) through the courtesy of Dr. Agathe Gijzen.

DNA extraction protocols for molecular studies of Asiatic black bears

Ursus, 2014
Abstract Optimization of DNA extraction and amplification techniques increases the reliability of genetic studies used to estimate population size and assess genetic diversity, particularly for non-invasively collected samples. We evaluated the effectiveness of 4 DNA extraction procedures—the Roboscreen and Qiagen kit methods and the Organic and Chelex

Sexual behavior and ethogram of the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus)

Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 2020
Abstract Understanding and knowledge regarding basic sexual behavior constitute a logical starting point for captive breeding of the endangered Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus, ABB) in the Republic of Korea. This study was therefore undertaken to create an ethogram for the sexual behaviors of ABB and to describe the time budget of the relevant ...
