Investigating Co-occurrence among Look-alike Species: The Case of Three Bears in Northeast India

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
At the most basic level, the assessment of a species’ status involves knowing where it occurs. Determining the presence of rare species is difficult, and can be further confounded by the presence of a more common look-alike species.

Identifying suitable habitats for sloth bear conservation in Eastern India

open access: yes, 2023
Today, the most significant threats to mammal predators are habitat losses and anthropogenic pressure. Although sloth bears are widely distributed in India, there is still a risk of populations becoming fragmented and isolated.

Using machine learning to predict habitat suitability of sloth bears at multiple spatial scales

open access: yesEcological Processes, 2021
Background Habitat resources occur across the range of spatial scales in the environment. The environmental resources are characterized by upper and lower limits, which define organisms’ distribution in their communities.

Patterns and predictors of human-sloth bear conflict in Nepal: Implications for coexistence in unprotected forest landscapes

open access: yes, 2023
<p><span>Human-sloth bear conflict</span><span> is common throughout most areas where sloth bears co-occur with humans. Altercations are more prevalent in multi-use forest landscapes outside protected areas.
