Brown bear damages and identification of human-bear conflict hotspots in Croatia.

2016
Before World War II, bears were almost exterminated from western and southern Europe. 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 ...

Is diversionary feeding an effective tool for reducing human–bear conflicts? Case studies from North America and Europe

Ursus, 2017
Diversionary feeding uses food to lure animals away from areas where they are unwanted or could cause conflicts with people. With bears (Ursidae) increasingly attracted to human food sources worldwide, diversionary feeding represents a seemingly logical and publicly acceptable means of alleviating conflicts.

Exploring spatial patterns of human–bear conflict in southwestern Iran due to future land-use change

Biological Conservation
Understanding the spatial patterns of human-wildlife conflict is crucial for fostering coexistence in landscapes shared between people and wildlife. Assessing this can be particularly challenging in dynamic landscapes, where land-use changes impact the intensity and spatial distribution of human-wildlife conflict.

Applications of learning theory to human-bear conflict: the efficacy of aversive conditioning and conditioned taste aversion

2011
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.

Aversive conditioning of grizzly bears produces high probabilities of retreat from human-bear conflict locations

Parks and protected areas provide important refugia for source populations of threatened grizzly bears in Alberta, where high human-use and recreation can cause human-bear conflict. Many jurisdictions in Alberta and beyond use hazing and aversive conditioning (hereafter AC) programs to deter bears from potential conflict, but there are few established ...
