A meta-analysis of ungulate predation and prey selection by the brown bear Ursus arctos in Eurasia

Mammal Research, 2018
At the biogeographic scale, spatial variation in diets may reflect not only the ecological flexibility of carnivore feeding habits, but also evolutionary adaptations of different populations within a species. We described the large-scale pattern in brown

Relationship Between Testosterone and Movement Patterns in Male Asian Black Bear (<i>Ursus thibetanus</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Comparisons of mean fecal testosterone metabolite concentrations (mFTM) and behavioral variables between the breeding (May–July) and post‐breeding (August–November) seasons. The asterisks indicate significant differences. ABSTRACT In male mammals, reproduction and reproductive behavior are strongly influenced by testosterone. While some species exhibit
