Food availability and foraging near human developments by black bears (2013, background): “Indeed black bear foraging behavior in wildlands is related to phenological dynamics of vegetation (Amstrup and Beecham 1976; Davis et al. 2006; Mosnier et al. 2008), where changes in peak green-up and mast availability can predict bear movement and distribution (Amstrup and Beecham 1976; Mace et…”
Foraging ecology of black bears in urban environments: guidance for human‐bear conflict mitigation (2015, background): “During hyperphagia, masting plant species that produce acorns, nuts, and berries provide bears with high caloric energy that is critical for survival and reproduction (Rogers et al. 1976, Inman and Pelton 2002, McDonald and Fuller 2005, Mosnier et al. 2008).”
