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

Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering : Journal for Theory and Application of Forestry Engineering, 2011 The paper analyzes the inventories of trees debarked by the brown bear. Sample plots were established in mixed beech-fir forests in the mountainous part of western Croatia (an area in which such type of damage is relatively frequent). The method of damaging trees is similar to that incurred by the black bear in North America and Japan.

Raspodjela metala u bedrenoj kosti smeđeg medvjeda (Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758)
, 2018 This study investigated the levels of lead, strontium, calcium and zinc in the femoral bone of 41 brown bears (Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758) from the area of Lika and Gorski kotar, collected during 2014 and 2015. Metal levels were measured by the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry technique.

Mobility of the forearm skeleton in the Asiatic black (Ursus thibetanus), brown (U. arctos) and polar (U. maritimus) bearsIn several primates and carnivores, pronation/supination angles of the forearm skeleton were examined, and it is thought that a larger angle is useful to acquire dexterous behaviors in feeding and/or life style, including climbing. In this study, the pronation/supination angles in Asiatic black, brown and polar bears were nondestructively examined ...
