Genetic differentiation and asymmetric gene flow among Carpathian brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations—Implications for conservation of transboundary populations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4872
Abstract: Abstract The abundance and distribution of large carnivores in Europe have been historically reduced. Their recovery requires multilevel coordination, especially regarding transboundary populations. Here, we apply nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers to test for admixture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9120
Abstract: Abstract Brown bear‐mediated conflicts have caused immense economic loss to the local people living across the distribution range. In India, limited knowledge is available on the Himalayan brown bear (HBB), making human–brown bear conflict (HBC)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-020-02690-7
Abstract: Ecological flexibility within animal populations can allow for variation in resource use and foraging decisions. We estimated brown bear (Ursus arctos) diet composition in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Alaska from 2013… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-020-00507-w
Abstract: Mammals usually adjust behavioral patterns when exposed to disturbances. Elusiveness and low-risk time selection may reduce their stress in periods of highest risk. In Europe, brown bears (Ursus arctos) coexist with humans in densely populated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.108210
Abstract: Abstract One of the main factors limiting the acceptance of large carnivores is livestock depredation. Reducing damages on livestock requires understanding how depredation varies in space and time. The conservation of the brown bear (Ursus… read more here.

Very human bears: Wild brown bear neo-taphonomic signature and its equifinality problems in archaeological contexts

DOI: 10.1016/j.quaint.2019.05.013
Abstract: Abstract Different agents can lead to similar damage patterns, and different causes can result in the same type of modification. This phenomenon was defined by Lyman (1987) as a problem of equifinality, with which the… read more here.

Abstract: The current debate about megafaunal extinctions during the Quaternary focuses on the extent to which they were driven by humans, climate change, or both. These two factors may have interacted in a complex and unexpected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-40168-7
Abstract: Over 60% of the modern distribution range of brown bears falls within Russia, yet palaeoecological data from the region remain scarce. Complete modern Russian brown bear mitogenomes are abundant in the published literature, yet examples… read more here.
