Dietary ecology of the extinct cave bear: Evidence of omnivory as inferred from dental microwear textures [PDF]
The diet of the extinct European cave bear, Ursus spelaeus, has widely been debated. Diverging from the extant brown bear (Ursus arctos) approximately 1.2 million years ago, the cave bear is one of the most ubiquitous fossil bears occurring in Europe ...

Space Use by Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) in the Sikhote-Alin [PDF]
Proper management of brown bear populations (Ursus arctos) requires knowledge of their ecology, including space use. Brown bear spatial patterns are particularly poorly understood in the Russian Far East, due to lack of telemetry studies. The aim of this

Monitoring of the situation “man and bear” [PDF]
Meeting of man with Ursus arctos has been analyzed in three mountain areas of Ukraine. Almost in 90 % cases of the meeting with man a predator escapes, almost 8 % cases finished by the attack of beast, provoked by man. Recommendations of the behaviour of

Survival and divergence in a small group: The extraordinary genomic history of the endangered Apennine brown bear stragglers [PDF]
About 100 km east of Rome, in the central Apennine Mountains, a critically endangered population of ∼50 brown bears live in complete isolation. Mating outside this population is prevented by several 100 km of bear-free territories.

Density and reproductive characteristics of female brown bears in the Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain [PDF]
Here we present annual nearest-neighbour distances (as a proxy of density) between females with cubs-of-the-year (hereafter FCOY) and reproductive characteristics of brown bears Ursus arctos in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain), from 1989 to 2017. FCOY

Mandible size and shape in extant Ursidae (Carnivora, Mammalia): A tool for taxonomy and ecogeography [PDF]
The family Ursidae is currently one of the taxonomic groups with the lowest number of species among Carnivora. Extant bear species exhibit broad ecological adaptations both at inter- and intraspecific level, and taxonomic issues within this family remain

Brown Bear (Ursus arctos; Eurasia) [PDF]
I consider the mountainside a special place, a place with power, as I do certain other valleys and basins ... where grizzlies still roam. I return to these places year after year, to keep track of the bears and to log my life. The bears provided a calendar for me when I got back from Vietnam, ...
