Sloth Bear Attacks on Humans in Central India: Implications for Species Conservation

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2018
Conflicts with wild animals are increasing as human populations grow and related anthropogenic activities encroach into wildlife habitats. A good example of this situation is the increase in conflicts between humans and sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) in ...

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Relocation of a GPS collared conflict Sloth Bear Melursus ursinus (Mammalia: Carnivora) in Karnataka, India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2021
The relocation of conflict bears has been a tool used widely across the United States and Canada with mixed results.  It has also been used in India with Sloth Bears, though without follow-up it remains unknown how successful these relocation efforts have been.

How absolute biomass intake can alter nutrient profile interpretation in free‐ranging species: the case of protein intake in brown bears

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
If an animal eats a large amount of a diet of a low content of a macronutrient, it can still ingest a considerable amount of that macronutrient. Various animals have been shown to balance nutrient content with intake in this way. We use the brown bear Ursus arctos as a model species, given their recent classification as ‘low protein omnivores', to show

Tricho-taxonomic prey identifications from faeces of Indian Rock Python (Linnaeus, 1758) (Reptilia: Squamata: Pythonidae) in Moyar River Valley, Tamil Nadu, India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa
Identifying the prey species is crucial for successful conservation and landscape-level management of large predators whose feeding ecology is incompletely known. Assessment of faecal samples is a viable method for achieving this goal.

Does indigestible food remains in the scats of Sloth Bear Melursus ursinus (Carnivora: Ursidae) represent actual contribution of various diet items?

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2010
The contribution of diet items in the food of sloth bears is estimated solely based on the dry weight or volume of indigestible food remains found in the scats, assuming that the ratio of digestible versus indigestible matters is equal in all diet items.

Tuberculosis in captive sloth bear (Melursus urcinus)

open access: yesInternational Journal of scientific research and management, 2016
A carcass of 10 year old male Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus) from Maharaj Bag Zoo, Nagpur was brought for a post mortem examination with the history of illness since 15 days and no response to the treatment. The postmortem examination revealed pale mucous membrane, hide bound condition and dehydration.

The division of food space among mammalian species on biomes

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Understanding how species' ecological partitioning functions across biomes is fundamental to macroecology and conservation biology. Here, we examine the global distribution of dietary strategies in terrestrial mammals, focusing on how biome specialization modulates trophic diversity and structure at a broad geographical scale.

Symbiotic Relationship Between Local People and Asiatic Black Bears

open access: yes, 2022
There are 8 species of bears (Ursidae) in the world; of these, 6 species are known to occur in Asia. However, in Bhutan, there are only 2 species: the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) and the sloth bear (Melursus ursinus).
