The relative abundance of crop and natural food influences crop consumption by brown bears
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Many mammalian species now inhabit anthropogenic landscapes, and human–wildlife conflicts, particularly pertaining to crop damage, have become a significant issue. To develop more effective measures to limit crop damage caused by wildlife, it is crucial to identify how natural and anthropogenic food availability affect crop use by wildlife in the ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

American Black Bear–Apiary Conflicts in Michigan
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 American black bear (Ursus americanus) damage to apiaries can result in substantial economic loss. We used records of black–bear apiary conflicts collected by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to characterize damage in the Upper and Northern ...

Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...

Genomic analysis of expressed sequence tags in American black bear
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Species of the bear family (Ursidae) are important organisms for research in molecular evolution, comparative physiology and conservation biology, but relatively little genetic sequence information is available for this group.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2487-2506, September 2026.Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

PLoS ONE, 2013 Dramatic environmental changes associated with global cooling since the late Miocene, and the onset of glacial-interglacial cycles in the Pleistocene served as a backdrop to the evolutionary radiation of modern bears (family Ursidae). These environmental
