Many wildlife species are threatened in Asia, including the five species of terrestrial bears
(Asiatic black, Ursus thibetanus; brown, U. arctos; sloth, Melursus ursinus; sun, Helarctos …

Populations of bears in Asia are vulnerable to extinction and effective monitoring is critical to
measure and direct conservation efforts. Population abundance (local density) or growth (λ) …

Stress responses, which are mediated by the neurogenic system (NS) and hypothalamic–
pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis help vertebrates maintain physiological homeostasis. Fight‐or …

Abstract Changes in the distribution of a species can be used to as a metric of conservation
status and to identify the loss or gain of isolated populations. This mapping process is a …

Reliable estimation of abundance is a prerequisite for a species' conservation planning in
human-dominated landscapes, especially if the species is elusive and involved in conflicts …

Estimating the size of small populations of large mammals can be achieved via censuses, or
complete counts, of recognizable individuals detected over a time period: minimum detected …

Protected areas require methodologies to monitor the status and effectiveness of species
management strategies. In this work, single-species, single-season occupancy models were …

At the most basic level, the assessment of a species' status involves knowing where it
occurs. Determining the presence of rare species is difficult, and can be further confounded …

Despite the high density of brown bears (Ursus arctos piscator) on the Kamchatka peninsula
their genetic variation has not been studied by STR analysis. Our aim was, therefore, to …
