• Current status, distribution, and conservation of brown bear (Ursidae) and wild canids (gray wolf, golden jackal, and red fox; Canidae) in Turkey (2016, background): “Due to this type of diet, lacking meat such as salmon or ungulates, their body sizes and masses are smaller than those of most other brown bears in the world (Zedrosser et al., 2011).”
• The role of human-related risk in breeding site selection by wolves (2016, background): “…shepherds, enclosures; Woodroffe et al., 2007; Linnell et al., 2012), large carnivores have adopted different behavioural adaptations to minimise risks (e.g., temporal or fine-scale spatial segregation; Theuerkauf et al., 2003; Habib and Kumar, 2007; Zedrosser et al., 2011; Ahmadi et al., 2014).”
• Lasting behavioural responses of brown bears to experimental encounters with humans (2013, background): “Zedrosser et al. (2011) argued that the ultimate reasons for transcontinental differences in life history parameters are related to the more extended persecution of large carnivores in Europe.”
• Do bears know they are being hunted (2012, background): “Whereas the evolutionary arms race between prey and their predator species (Vermeij, 1987) allowed prey species to evolve antipredator adaptations under natural predation and in multi-predator systems (Sih et al., 1998), LC have had less time to adapt to a specific predator, modern humans, 40,000 ye”
• Evolutionary and ecological traps for brown bears Ursus arctos in human‐modified landscapes (2018, background): “However, some bear populations have come under hunting pressure relatively recently (Zedrosser et al. 2011), whereas others have been under protection for decades (e.g. brown bear populations in Spain and Italy), and simultaneously some human recreational activities focusing on bears, i.e.…”
