Blood chemistry reference intervals of captive Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) [PDF]
Veterinární medicína, 2017 Data on blood chemistry values can make fundamental contributions to our understanding of physiological changes. However, there is a lack of information regarding blood chemistry in Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus). Thus, the objects of this study were to determine reference ranges for 29 blood chemistry variables, and to evaluate differences ...

Genetic Structure of the Asiatic Black Bear in Japan Using Mitochondrial DNA Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2009 The genetic structure of the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in Japan was studied to understand the events that occurred during its evolution. The left domain of the mitochondrial control region (about 240 bp) was sequenced, defining 27 haplotypes that consisted of 23 haplotypes from 333 bears in Japan and 22 bears in the Asian continent.
