Estimation of the Number of Nuisance Bears in the Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido
Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 2, April 2026.In this study, we aimed to estimate the number of nuisance bears based on damage and occurrence reports collected from 2009 to 2023 in the Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido. For the estimation, we assessed the harmfulness level (from Condition 0 to 3) of the bears based on the details of the reports and developed a method to remove double or more overcounts ...

Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Unlike humans, brown bears (Ursus arctos) uniquely preserve skeletal muscle mass and function during months of hibernation despite prolonged fasting and inactivity. We investigated how mitochondrial energetics respond in skeletal muscle to support this remarkable resilience.

BEARS IN PAKISTAN: DISTRIBUTION, POPULATION BIOLOGY AND HUMAN CONFLICTS
Journal of Bioresource Management, 2015 We conducted questionnaire based interviews (n = 1873) of respondents coming from 258 localities about bear tracts in northern parts of Pakistan in 2012-2014 to study Himalyan brown (U. arctos isalbellinus) and Himalayan black (U. t.

Polar bear attacks on humans: Implications of a changing climate
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Understanding causes of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) attacks on humans is critical to ensuring both human safety and polar bear conservation. Although considerable attention has been focused on understanding black (U. americanus) and grizzly (U.

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 665-694, April 2026.ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

Ursids evolved dietary diversity without major alterations in metabolic rates
Scientific ReportsThe diets of the eight species of ursids range from carnivory (e.g., polar bears, Ursus maritimus) to insectivory (e.g., sloth bears, Melursus ursinus), omnivory (e.g., brown bears, U.

Use of isotopic sulfur to determine whitebark pine consumption by Yellowstone bears: A reassessment
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014 Use of naturally occurring stable isotopes to estimate assimilated diet of bears is one of the single greatest breakthroughs in nutritional ecology during the past 20 years. Previous research in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), USA, established a
