Estimation of the Number of Nuisance Bears in the Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido

open access: yesPopulation 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 ...
