Deforestation, together with persecution due to livestock depredation, were the main causes of brown bears populations’ decline. However, the development of adaptive behaviours by bears to cope with such disturbance factors and survive in anthropic areas resulted in ...

I tested the efficacy of aversive conditioning (AC) and conditioned taste aversion (CTA) on American black bears (Ursus americanus) in Whistler, British Columbia. Black bears subjected to 3-5 day AC programs responded by increasing their wariness toward humans, while control bears habituated.
