Grizzly bear and human interaction in Yellowstone National Park: An evaluation of bear management areas (2013, background): “Recent research indicates that habituation has benefits and risks to bears and people (Aumiller and Matt 1994, Herrero et al. 2005, Smith et al. 2005).”
Habituation and sensitization: new thoughts about old ideas (2016, unknown): “Herrero et al. (2005) and Smith, Herrero, and DeBruyn (2005) noted that brown bears, Ursus arctos, habituate to bears as well as humans, and the fact that bears habituate to other bears may predispose them to habituate to humans.”
Ultimate and proximate mechanisms underlying the occurrence of bears close to human settlements: review and management implications (2014, unknown): “Bears’ tolerance of conspecifics and people also may be positively related to bear density, explaining why aggressiveness of bears towards humans varies regionally (Smith et al. 2005).”
Evolutionary and ecological traps for brown bears Ursus arctos in human‐modified landscapes (2018, background): “Indeed, losing their fear of humans may lead to increased bear presence close to human settlements and infrastructures because of habituation, i.e. the loss of human avoidance and escape responses (Smith et al. 2005).”
Consequences of brown bear viewing tourism : A review (2017, methodology): “Also, a bear showing habituation to human presence is not necessarily 416 a dangerous individual, as demonstrated by the extreme cases of bear-to-human 417 habituation observed at several bear viewing sites where a bear attack has never been 418 recorded (Smith et al., 2005).”
