The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Habituation and sensitization: new thoughts about old ideas (2016, unknown): “Some observational studies suggest that bears concentrate near concentrated food sources (natural or artificial), first habituating to each other, and then to people (e.g. Herrero et al., 2005).”
Coping with human disturbance: spatial and temporal tactics of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) (2010, unknown): “In addition, our results suggest some habituation to human presence (Herrero et al. 2005).”
Alaskan brown bears, humans, and habituation (2005, background): “Rich forage resources promote high-density bear populations in Alaska (Hilderbrand et al. 1999).”
Grizzly bear and human interaction in Yellowstone National Park: An evaluation of bear management areas (2013, background): “…interspecific interactions (Mattson et al. 1987, Skagen et al. 1991, Rogala et al. 2011), increase physiological stress (Creel et al. 2002, Barja et al. 2007), reduce survival (Ruhlen et al. 2003), decrease reproductive output (Ellenberg et al. 2007), and lead to habituation (Herrero et al. 2005).”
