Abstract
This publication examines the adaptations of a large carnivore to benefits and risks associated with human development, The authors investigated black bear behavior in three systems in the western United States. Their objectives were to (1) identify temporal patterns of selection for development within a year and across years based on natural food conditions, (2) compare spatial patterns of selection for development across systems, and (3) examine individual characteristics associated with increased selection for development
