Components of Grizzly Bear Habitat Selection: Density, Habitats, Roads, and Mortality Risk (2007, background): “The predicted decline in the number of mountain bears might in part be attributed to their not having learned cues necessary to survive in a high humancaused mortality-risk landscape (Schlaepfer et al. 2002, Nielsen et al. 2006).”
Quantifying Grizzly Bear Selection of Natural and Anthropogenic Edges (2013, background): “…increased use of habitat near roads by female grizzly bears has implications for mortality risk and potentially for grizzly bear conservation, as female survival is the dominant vital rate affecting population viability (Bunnell and Tait 1981; Eberhardt et al. 1994; Nielsen et al. 2006, 2008).”
Modelling wildlife–human relationships for social species with mixed‐effects resource selection models (2007, background): “the Ya Ha Tinda ranch, Fig. 4) where productivity and ungulate biomass is high, but where survival is reduced because of human activity ( Nielsen et al. 2006 ).”
Evolutionary and ecological traps for brown bears Ursus arctos in human‐modified landscapes (2018, background): “Nielsen et al. (2006) and Northrup et al. (2012a) suggested that roads may cause habitat loss, alter movement patterns and, consequently, can become ecological traps for brown bears.”
The pitfalls of ignoring behaviour when quantifying habitat selection (2014, methodology): “Good foraging areas, for instance, may also be associated with higher mortality risk (Nielsen et al., 2006), or defending a territory may occur at the cost of acquiring food (Switalski, 2003).”
Dynamic wildlife habitat models: Seasonal foods and mortality risk predict occupancy-abundance and habitat selection in grizzly bears (2010, methodology): “When in the presence of maladaptive habitat selection, the management for selected habitats may even hasten population decline by adding ecological traps/attractive sinks (Schlaepfer et al., 2002; Nielsen et al., 2006, 2008).”
