Human development and climate affect hibernation in a large carnivore with implications for human–carnivore conflicts (2018, background): “Fall corresponds to the period of hyperphagia, when bears increase their time spent foraging on both natural and human foods (Johnson et al., 2015; Noyce & Garshelis, 2011), with subsequent increases in human–bear conflicts (Merkle, Robinson, Krausman, & Alaback, 2013).”
Ultimate and proximate mechanisms underlying the occurrence of bears close to human settlements: review and management implications (2014, unknown): “Smaller bears, especially females, are more likely to make late-season migrations outside their normal ranges when food availability is high outside their home ranges and lower within them, because migration behaviour is costly (Noyce & Garshelis 2011).”
Do bears know they are being hunted (2012, background): “Hunters aim to kill bears before the quota is filled, which generates a large hunting effort at the beginning of the hunting season, a phenomenon also reported elsewhere (e.g. Ruth et al., 2003; Noyce and Garshelis, 2011).”
