Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fragmented and patchy arrangement of black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) populations throughout Florida is a daunting management challenge in this developed state. Successful management prescriptions must consider highly variable food habits as well as the effects of fire, timber management, and expanding development on this threatened species. Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) appears to be the single-most important food that is also common in all of the species' subpopulations. Fire may be the most important abiotic influence on bear nutrition, reproduction, and mortality. Winter burns have the potential to alter the fruiting phenology of important food plants and can cause direct mortality on neonatal cubs. Highways are problematic because they isolate bear populations, create travel barriers, and cause direct mortality. Opportunities for secure den sites and escape cover are likely more numerous in large patches of older forests. The limited use of hollow trees as den sites in Florida is likely linked to the relatively young age of most of Florida's forests. Generally, most widely used forest management practices (i.e., prescribed fire, herbicides, clear-cutting) are compatible with bear habitat management, especially if conducted in the context of large forests. Population viability analyses indicate that small populations such as those found in Highlands County and in the Greater Chassahowitzka Ecosystem are likely doomed to extinction without management intervention that promotes or restores landscape connectivity with other, larger populations. A metapopulation approach is recommended because the protection and reconnection of isolated population fragments with enhance the survival probabilities of the smalled populations as well as those of the entire population. The black bear would make an excellent flagship species for a statewide approach to ecosystem and landscape restoration.

Download or read book Bears of the World written by Vincenzo Penteriani and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bears have fascinated people since ancient times. The relationship between bears and humans dates back thousands of years, during which time we have also competed with bears for shelter and food. In modern times, bears have come under pressure through encroachment on their habitats, climate change, and illegal trade in their body parts, including the Asian bile bear market. The IUCN lists six bears as vulnerable or endangered, and even the least concern species, such as the brown bear, are at risk of extirpation in certain countries. The poaching and international trade of these most threatened populations are prohibited, but still ongoing. Covering all bears species worldwide, this beautifully illustrated volume brings together the contributions of 200 international bear experts on the ecology, conservation status, and management of the Ursidae family. It reveals the fascinating long history of interactions between humans and bears and the threats affecting these charismatic species.
