Urban environments offer wildlife novel anthropogenic resources that vary spatiotemporally at fine scales. Property damage, economic losses, human injury, or other human-wildlife conflicts can occur when wildlife use these resources; however, few studies have examined urban wildlife resource selection at fine scales to guide conflict mitigation. We studied black bears (Ursus americanus) in the urban area of Aspen, Colorado, USA from 2007 to 2010 to quantify bear foraging on natural and...

No single solution: application of behavioural principles in mitigating human–wildlife conflict (2016, background): “…on black bears, Ursus americanus, in urban environments clearly demonstrates that bears perceive people as a potential risk, but that failures in natural food resources prompt greater risk-taking behaviour in proximity to people (Baruch-Mordo et al., 2008; Johnson et al., 2015; Lewis et al., 2015).”
Human development and climate affect hibernation in a large carnivore with implications for human–carnivore conflicts (2018, background): “The proportion of a bear’s annual hyperphagia range that overlapped development became our annual metric of their human food use, as we assumed that bears using human development were foraging on anthropogenic resources (Lewis et al., 2015).”
