• Some mechanisms underlying variation in vital rates of grizzly bears on a multiple use landscape (2015, background): “The form of sexually selected infanticide shown by brown bears in Scandinavia, called the “immigrant male hypothesis” (McLellan 2005) predicts cub survival will be reduced when adult male bears are killed by hunters because immigrant males replacing the dead male are prone to kill unrelated cubs…”
• Ultimate and proximate mechanisms underlying the occurrence of bears close to human settlements: review and management implications (2014, unknown): “Aggression and dominance among bears Intraspecific mortality dominates natural mortality among cubs and subadult brown bears (Swenson et al. 2001, McLellan 2005) and American black bears (Rogers 1987, Schwartz & Franzmann 1992).”
• Evolutionary and ecological traps for brown bears Ursus arctos in human‐modified landscapes (2018, background): “SSI in brown bears has been documented in some populations (e.g. by Wielgus et al. 1994, Swenson et al. 1997, Palomero et al. 2007), but it seems to be less common or absent in other populations (McLellan 2005).”
• Population-level resource selection by sympatric brown and American black bears in Alaska (2009, background): “Female brown bears are considered subordinate to male brown bears (Wielgus and Bunnell 1994, 1995; McLellan 2005), suggesting that male brown bears would probably also dominate in interactions with black bears.”
• The mating system of the brown bear Ursus arctos (2012, background): “…‘roving male’ strategy, in which females range widely and are solitarily and unpredictably distributed at low population densities, and males range widely in search of oestrous females, consorting with them and defending them against other males (e.g. Dahle & Swenson 2003a, b, c, McLellan 2005).”
