Big city life: carnivores in urban environments (2012, background): “…carnivores have managed to maintain an uneasy truce at some urban interfaces by moving in and out of the urban matrix, for example, brown bears (Swenson et al., 2000; Kaczensky et al., 2003; Rauer, Kaczensky & Knauer, 2003), black bears (Witmer & Whittaker, 2001; Beckmann & Berger, 2003;…”
Factors affecting lynx predation on sheep in the French Jura (2002, background): “One of the main difficulties when devising large carnivore conservation plans is the management of carnivore predation on livestock (Boitani 2000; Breitenmoser et al. 2000; Swenson et al. 2000).”
An evaluation of field and non-invasive genetic methods to estimate brown bear (Ursus arctos) population size (2006, background): “This gives managers more flexibility in their decisions, including the setting of hunting quotas and the removal of problem bears, which are both important questions in management (Swenson et al., 2000).”
Comparing opportunistic and systematic sampling methods for non‐invasive genetic monitoring of a small translocated brown bear population (2010, background): “The current alpine landscape of southern Europe is highly modified by human presence, and a long history of human persecution has affected the behaviour of the European brown bear (Swenson et al. 2000).”
The mating system of the brown bear Ursus arctos (2012, background): “However, southern Europe and Asia harbour several small, isolated and critically endangered populations (Swenson et al. 2000, Anonymous 2008).”
Brown bear conservation and the ghost of persecution past (2011, background): “…sam.steyaerac.at (H. Gossow), jon.swen- tury, and today many large carnivore populations are again on the increase in North America and Europe (e.g. Boitani, 2000; Breitenmoser, 1998; Linnell et al., 2001; Schwartz et al., 2006b; Servheen et al., 1999; Swenson et al., 2000; Woodroffe, 2000).”
Large carnivores, moose, and humans: a changing paradigm of predator management in the 21st century. (2003, background): “…made reservations regarding protection of the brown bear (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Turkey) and 10 regarding the wolf (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain, and Turkey) (Boitani 2000, Swenson et al. 2000).”
Building biological realism into wolf management policy: the development of the population approach in Europe (2012, background): “…and Breitenmoser-Würsten, 1994; Salvatori and Linnell, 2005) and action plans (Boitani, 2000; Breitenmoser et al., 2000; Landa et al., 2000; Swenson et al., 2000) that have served to transfer capacities, coordinate activities, and keep large carnivore conservation on the political agenda.”
Dealing with Uncertainty in Spatially Explicit Population Models (2004, methodology): “For parameters on dispersal, and establishment of home ranges, these authors used the sparse data available from Austria and restricted the range of these parameters additionally with data on brown bears in Scandinavia and from other sources (e.g., Swenson et al. 2000).”
Human–Brown Bear Conflicts in Artvin, Northeastern Turkey: Encounters, Damage, and Attitudes (2008, background): “Modern techniques of exclusion and scaring that are used effectively all around the world are also relevant for our study area (Servheen et al. 1999, Swenson et al. 2000).”
Assessing the suitability of central European landscapes for the reintroduction of Eurasian lynx (2002, background): “Since then, there has been slow recovery of wolves in Spain and Italy (Boitani 2000), and bears and Eurasian lynx in Scandinavia, the Carpathians and the Balkan Peninsula (Breitenmoser et al. 2000; Swenson et al. 2000).”
Ultimate and proximate mechanisms underlying the occurrence of bears close to human settlements: review and management implications (2014, background): “Despite generally positive attitudes towards LCs in the western world, many people are afraid of LCs (Johansson & Karlsson 2011) and expect them to avoid settlements (defined as inhabited single houses, villages or towns).”
Activity patterns of brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Slovenia and Croatia (2006, background): “…are possible in North America and data suggest the importance of individual learning, in densely settled Europe large wilderness areas do not exist anymore (EUROPARC & IUCN, 2000) and human population densities are high, even in the remaining bear areas (Mattson, 1990; Swenson et al., 2000).”
Consequences of brown bear viewing tourism : A review (2017, background): “This also builds upon the general recommendation that no artificial food should be available to bears in or near settlements and that artificial feeding in general should be avoided (Swenson et al., 2000).”
