Activity pattern study of Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in the Qinling Mountains, China, by using infrared camera traps

Babar Zahoor et al.

Summary: Studying activity patterns is crucial for understanding animals' behavior adaptation based on habitat conditions. Monitoring Asiatic black bear activity patterns in the Qinling Mountains, researchers found higher activity levels from June to October, with a shorter hibernation period. Bears were mainly active during the daytime in spring and summer, while more active at twilight in autumn. Food preferences and availability due to regional climate conditions are suggested as factors influencing these activity patterns.

Climate and land use changes shift the distribution and dispersal of two umbrella species in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region

Yunchuan Dai et al.

Summary: Biodiversity loss from climate and land use change is a global issue, particularly concerning in biodiverse regions like the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region. This study focused on predicting the impacts of future climate and land use change on Tibetan and Himalayan brown bears in the HKH region. Results indicate that both bear species will be negatively affected in the 2070s, with shrinking distribution areas and shifting to higher altitudes. The findings highlight the importance of protecting these species and providing a scientific basis for conservation efforts in the HKH region.

Projected shifts in the distribution range of Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in the Hindu Kush Himalaya due to climate change

Babar Zahoor et al.

Summary: Climate change poses a major threat to vulnerable species like the Asiatic black bear. Research in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region found extensive suitable habitats for the bear, but projected shifts towards higher elevations due to climate change may increase human-bear conflicts. Recommendations such as managing climate refugia, enhancing natural reserves, and improving monitoring of bear populations could help mitigate adverse impacts of climate change on bears.

Impact of climate change on Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) and its autumn diet in the northern highlands of Pakistan

Babar Zahoor et al.

Summary: Approximately 20%-30% of plant and animal species are at risk of extinction by the end of the 21st century due to climate change, impacting the distribution and survival of animal species relying on plants. Climate change is projected to alter species composition and distribution in the forested landscapes of the northern highlands of Pakistan, potentially affecting the Asiatic black bear.
