Mandible size and shape in extant Ursidae (Carnivora, Mammalia): A tool for taxonomy and ecogeography [PDF]

, 2017
The family Ursidae is currently one of the taxonomic groups with the lowest number of species among Carnivora. Extant bear species exhibit broad ecological adaptations both at inter- and intraspecific level, and taxonomic issues within this family remain

Brown Bear (Ursus arctos; Eurasia) [PDF]

, 2020
I consider the mountainside a special place, a place with power, as I do certain other valleys and basins ... where grizzlies still roam. I return to these places year after year, to keep track of the bears and to log my life. The bears provided a calendar for me when I got back from Vietnam, ...

Analyses of key genes involved in Arctic adaptation in polar bears suggest selection on both standing variation and de novo mutations played an important role

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Polar bears are uniquely adapted to an Arctic existence. Since their relatively recent divergence from their closest living relative, brown bears, less than 500,000 years ago, the species has evolved an array of novel traits suited to its ...

Mitochondrial Genomes Reveal an Explosive Radiation of Extinct and Extant Bears near the Miocene-Pliocene Boundary [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Despite being one of the most studied families within the Carnivora, the phylogenetic relationships among the members of the bear family (Ursidae) have long remained unclear.

Cryopreservation of Brown Bear Skin Biopsies [PDF]

Cell Preservation Technology, 2008
Genetic resource banks and assisted reproductive technologies support the conservation of endangered or threatened species. In this study we assessed two procedures to cryopreserve skin biopsies from live brown bears. Skin biopsies were taken from six live, anesthetized brown bears.

Non‐invasive mark–resight surveys for brown bears: Incorporating spatial information to improve landscape‐scale monitoring of density and distribution

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
Effective wildlife monitoring and management are reliant on unbiased estimators of population parameters. Most standard survey approaches ignore spatial pattern in the data although spatial relationships can be leveraged to produce more efficient designs

Movement ecology of brown bears (Ursus arctos) in the Romanian Eastern Carpathians

Nature Conservation, 2018
Brown bear movement patterns are driven by their opportunistic feeding behaviour, with their complex life history and seasonality playing an important role in habitat selection.
