Breaking the Social–Non‐social Dichotomy: A Role for Reptiles in Vertebrate Social Behavior Research? (2013, background): “…parental care, researchers have often dichotomized social behavior in vertebrates by labeling species as either ‘social’ or ‘non-social’ (Sharp et al. 2005; Belleman & Swenson 2006; Honer et al. 2007), with reptiles regularly labeled as ‘non-social’ (Wilkinson et al. 2010a; Wilkinson & Huber 2012).”
Sexual dimorphism and the mating ecology of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) at Svalbard (2010, background): “americanus), brown bears, and polar bears (Bellemain et al. 2006; Schenk and Kovacs 1995; Zeyl et al. 2009).”
The mating system of the brown bear Ursus arctos (2012, background): “Size and age are correlated with dominance and experience, and probably reflect genetic superiority (Trivers 1972, Shuster & Wade 2003, Isaac 2005, Bellemain et al. 2006b, Zedrosser et al. 2007a).”
Genetics and conservation of European brown bears Ursus arctos (2011, background): “European brown bear populations vary greatly in size, from large populations in and near Russia, the Carpathian Mountains, the Dinaric-Pindos area on and north of the Balkan Peninsula, and Scandinavia, to extremely small and isolated populations in the Cantabrian Mountains of northern Spain, the Pyr”
