This review provides an up-to-date synthesis of the matrilineal phylogeography of a uniquely
well-studied Holarctic mammal, the brown bear. We extend current knowledge by presenting …

The growing human footprint has placed unprecedented stressors on ecosystems in recent
decades resulting in losses of biodiversity and ecosystem function around the world. Roads …

Monitoring carnivores is critical for conservation, yet challenging because they are rare and
elusive. Few methods exist for monitoring wide-ranging species over large spatial and …

Climate change and land use change jointly are the largest drivers of population declines,
range contraction and extinction for many species across the globe. Wide‐ranging and large …

Around the world, climate change has impacted many species. In this study, we used
bioclimatic variables and biophysical layers of Central Asia and the Asian Highlands …

Climate-induced changes in the phenology of hibernation for bear species could result in
altered energy budgets, reduced cub survival and fitness and increased human-bear …

Habitat and corridor map** are key components of many conservation programs. Grizzly
bear populations in the continental US are fragmented and connectivity among federal …

Large carnivores are among the most threatened species in the world because of their
natural low densities and need for expansive habitats. The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is the …

Large mammals that occur in low densities, particularly in the high-altitude areas, are
globally threatened due to fragile climatic and ecological envelopes. Among bear species …

Taxonomy presents itself as the critical basis of any modern scientific decision-making
approach in the living world, and therefore accurate classifications have to be sought. Due to …
