Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

Human–bear conflict in Alaska: 1880–2015
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 We present an analysis of human–bear (Ursus spp.) conflicts that occurred in Alaska, USA, from 1880 to 2015. We collected 682 human–bear conflicts, consisting of 61,226 data entries, from various sources available to us.

Portable X‐Ray Fluorescence in the Assessment of Zinc Along Grizzly Bear Hair
X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a biomarker of past uptake of zinc, hair presents an interesting option since its growth can provide a stored record over time. This study investigates the distribution of zinc in hairs gathered from a series of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis).

Utility of the bucket cable trap to capture American black bears
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Most American black bear (Ursus americanus) population studies involving live capture have used foot‐hold restraints or barrel and culvert traps, but new capture methods, including the bucket cable trap, are increasingly being used by wildlife management

Metabolic Changes in Summer Active and Anuric Hibernating Free-Ranging Brown Bears (Ursus arctos)
PLoS ONE, 2013 The brown bear (Ursus arctos) hibernates for 5 to 6 months each winter and during this time ingests no food or water and remains anuric and inactive.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Estimating demographic rates of wild populations is critical to understanding their dynamics but can be challenging because large amounts of data are required, and parts of the life cycle of individuals may be unobserved. In numerous research programmes, capture–recapture (CR) data and biologging data are collected in parallel.

Food Subsidies Reduce Livestock Depredations by a Recovering Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Diversionary feeding—providing food caches to divert predators away from preying on livestock—is a strategy to reduce depredations by Mexican gray wolves but has not been evaluated for its effectiveness. We used data from the Mexican wolf recovery program from 2014‐2021 to evaluate whether diversionary feeding reduced livestock depredations by wolf ...

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2007 We obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of U.thibetanus mupinensis by DNA sequencing based on the PCR fragments of 18 primers we designed. The results indicate that the mtDNA is 16 868 bp in size, encodes 13 protein genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA
