Bears consuming wild fruits for fall energy accumulation are constrained by several factors, including intake rate, the physiological capacity of the gastrointestinal tract, and the metabolic efficiency of gain in body mass. We measured these relationships through foraging and feeding trials using captive and wild black bears (Ursus americanus) and grizzly bears (Ursus arctos). Four fruit types...

In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, counts of female grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) with cubs-of-the-year (females cubs) from systematic aerial surveys and opportunistic ground sightings are combined demographic data to derive annual population estimates. We addressed 2 limitations monitoring approach. As part a rule set, conservative distance >30 km currently is used as threshold assign unique...

Market based instruments such as payments, auctions or tradable permits have been proposed as exible and cost-e ective instruments for biodiversity conservation on private lands. Trading the service of conservation requires to de ne a metric that determines to which extent a conserved site adds to the regional conservation objective. Yet, while markets for conservation are widely discussed and ...

A recent paper on the matrilineal population history of two sister species, Ursus maritimus (polar bears) and Ursus arctos (brown bears), based on mtDNA sequence analysis, reveals a comparatively recent introgression. The authors propose that it represents a signature of environ mental stress in marginal habitats [1]. In a nutshell, it means that all modern polar bears probably belong to a mate...

1. Understanding the interaction among predators and between predation and climate is critical to understanding the mechanisms for compensatory mortality. We used data from 1999 radio-marked neonatal elk (Cervus elaphus) calves from 12 populations in the north-western United States to test for effects of predation on neonatal survival, and whether predation interacted with climate to render mor...

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) was founded by ecologists as a United States land trust to purchase parcels of habitat for the purpose of scientific study. It has evolved into a global organization working in 35 countries 'to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends'. TNC is now the world 's largest conservation non-governmental organization (NGO), an early adopter of advances in ec...

The "Ernesto Tornquist" Provincial Park (ETPP) is located inside the Ventania system (Argentina) and was created to protect one of the last relicts of pampean grasslands. Even though many studies have looked at the vertebrate faunal diversity, biology, and conservation in this Park, few studies have been dedicated to arthropods. Among these, spiders have been used as ecological indicators to ev...

Endemic Hawaiian Drosophilidae, a radiation of nearly 1000 species including 13 federally listed as endangered, occur mostly in intact native forest, 500-1500 m above sea level. But their persistence in disturbed forest and agricultural areas has not been documented. Thus, control efforts for agricultural pests may impact endemic species if previously undocumented refugia in agricultural areas ...
