Efficient and effective monitoring methods are required to assess population status and
gauge efficacy of conservation actions for threatened species. Here we review the spectrum …

Populations of bears in Asia are vulnerable to extinction and effective monitoring is critical to
measure and direct conservation efforts. Population abundance (local density) or growth (λ) …

Commercial forest plantations of fast-growing species have been established globally to
meet increasing demands for timber, pulpwood, and other wood products. Industrial …

Hair samples obtained from barbed wire can identify bears from DNA, assess trophic
position from stable isotopes, and yield other data. For brown bears (Ursus arctos), a wire …

Several of the world's bear species exhibit tree-rubbing behavior, which is thought to be a
form of scent-marking communication. Many aspects of this behavior remain unexplored …

Genetic monitoring has proven helpful in estimating species presence and abundance, and
detecting trends in genetic diversity, to be incorporated in providing data and …

Sun bear populations are fragmented and at risk from habitat loss and exploitation for body
parts. These threats are made worse by significant gaps in knowledge of sun bear …

Efficient and effective monitoring methods are required to assess population status and
