Book Ecology and Behaviour of North American Black Bears

Download or read book Ecology and Behaviour of North American Black Bears written by Roger A. Powell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What main factors affect mammalian home range size and dynamics? To what extent do constraints on home range characteristics vary between the sexes? This book aims to address these issues by concentrating the authors' expertise and experience in studies of home ranges in general and focusing on their studies of black bears of the Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, in particular. The authors provide an overview of the black bears and methods for their study before discussing concepts of home range, developing predictive habitat quality models, addressing influences of food production on social organization and exploring the mating behaviour of male bears.

Book Yearly Variation in Fall Movements of Adult Female American Black Bears Ursus Americanus in Central Ontario Canada

Download or read book Yearly Variation in Fall Movements of Adult Female American Black Bears Ursus Americanus in Central Ontario Canada written by Sarah Kathleen Poole and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iinvestigated sitefidelity and habitat selection of American black bears (Ursus americanus) from 15 GPS-collared adult females in central Ontario, Canadaover nine years. I used generalized linear mixed models to determine the factors affecting between-yearvariation in fall fidelity and the habitat selection in movement paths. I assessed secondand third-order habitat preference by female bears moving between seasonal home ranges. I found that 66% of bears returned to the same fall areabetween years, expressed as range overlap, influencednegativelyby whether they had cubs.When moving between seasonal ranges, bears selected for mixedwood, hardwood and wetlands cover but selectedridge tops over other habitat featuresat both scales.With increases in climatic uncertaintyand habitat fragmentation,theseresults emphasize the need for wildlife management to consider annualvariation in seasonal movements and habitat use by wide-ranging,opportunistic animals.Keywords:American Black Bear, Site Fidelity, Habitat Selection, Multi-scale, Logistic Regression.

Book Multiscale Effects of Forest Roads on Black Bears ursus Americanus

Download or read book Multiscale Effects of Forest Roads on Black Bears ursus Americanus written by Benjamin S. Jimenez and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the vast network of roads continues to expand across the continent, so too does the necessity to understand the associated ecological effects. To appropriately assess the impacts of these roads on wildlife it is necessary to evaluate how they affect ecological processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In particular, where hunting is associated with road access, roads may induce heightened behavioral responses. I assessed the effects of forest roads on habitat selection and activity patterns of a population of black bears (Ursus americanus) in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains of northern Idaho, USA. This black bear population is exposed to high hunting and recreational pressure facilitated by a dense network of forest roads and its close proximity to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and Spokane, Washington. Current hunting season structure allows for use of bait and dogs in spring and portions of the fall seasons, with an additional non-lethal summer pursuit season. I used Global Positioning Systems (GPS) locations collected at 20 minute intervals from 25 collared adult bears from June 1 2007 through November 2008 to elucidate the multi-scale effects of roads on black bear habitat selection, activity patterns and movement rates. I hypothesized that the effects of roads on black bears would be scale dependent, such that at larger spatial and temporal scales roads would have little effect on habitat use, whereas at finer spatiotemporal scales habitat selection, behavior and movement rates of black bears would be affected by roads as traffic volumes increased. While habitat selection varied by month as well as by gender, selection for features presumably associated with risk (canopy cover and distance to roads) and activity patterns near roads illuminated an apparent trade-off between the costs and benefits associated with spending time near roads. This work suggest that although areas adjacent to roads likely contain resources desirable to bears, the risks associated with these areas require them adjust their use of and activity patterns within these areas so as to minimize mortality risk. Manipulation of road access and season dates may be a useful management tool to affect the vulnerability of bears to hunter harvest.
