Signs of the bear life activities and their utilization for the monitoring of the bear (Ursus arctos L.) in Bulgaria

Historia Naturalis Bulgarica, 2015
A number of signs of the life activity of the brown bear (Ursus arctos L.) (apart from bear footprints: scats, tree markings, overturned stones, messed ant-hills and damaged fruit trees) which give the opportunity to detect the presence of the animal and,

The seasonal sensitivity of brown bear denning phenology in response to climatic variability

Frontiers in Zoology, 2018
Background For brown bears (Ursus arctos), hibernation is a critical part of the annual life cycle because energy savings during hibernation can be crucial for overwintering, and females give birth to cubs at that time.

Presence and distribution of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Friuli Venezia Giulia, from 2004 to 2011, through the non-invasive genetic monitoring ad conservation implications [PDF]

, 2012
After having disappeared at the beginning of 1900, the brown bear has started in a late 1960s a slow process of recolonization of the north-eastern Alps, through an expansion of Dinaric population.

Using bear rub data and spatial capture-recapture models to estimate trend in a brown bear population

Scientific Reports, 2019
Trends in population abundance can be challenging to quantify during range expansion and contraction, when there is spatial variation in trend, or the conservation area is large.

Genetic differentiation and asymmetric gene flow among Carpathian brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations—Implications for conservation of transboundary populations

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The abundance and distribution of large carnivores in Europe have been historically reduced. Their recovery requires multilevel coordination, especially regarding transboundary populations. Here, we apply nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers to test

3D Printing of Stretchable, Compressible and Conductive Porous Polyurethane for Soft Robotics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printable porous dopamine‐polyurethane acrylate elastomer results in conductive, stretchable, and compressible structures that can be metallized in situ through catechol‐mediated silver reduction. The resulting material function as both compliant soft robot with a and strain sensors without complex assemblies, enabling fully 3D‐printed soft ...

Adhesive Double‐Network Granular Organogel E‐Skin

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce a double‐network granular organogel adhesive for electronic skin, overcoming adhesion and strength trade‐offs. It provides reversible, robust bonding and ionic conductivity, enabling wearable and soft robotic e‐skin. Thanks to the e‐skin adhesive, a soft robotic trunk can recognize touch, temperature, humidity, and acidity.
