Impacts of changing sea-ice conditions on Arctic marine mammals (2011, background): “The tendency for bears to spend more time on land (e.g., Schliebe et al. 2008) increases the potential for human-bear interactions (e.g., Towns et al. 2009) and may give false impressions of regional densities (Stirling and Parkinson 2006).”
Predicting survival, reproduction and abundance of polar bears under climate change. (2010, unknown): “1) (Cherry et al., 2009), and recent incidents of cannibalism and an increased presence of polar bears near human settlements may provide further indicators for food stress in various populations (Amstrup et al., 2006; Stirling and Parkinson, 2006; Towns et al., 2009).”
Rapid ecosystem change and polar bear conservation (2013, background): “Human-bear conflicts will increase as the body condition of individual bears in a population declines, and as greater numbers of bears are stranded ashore for longer periods (Schliebe et al. 2008; Towns et al. 2009).”
