Abstract

“Populations of American black bears (Ursus americanus) have increased rapidly in the northeastern US, more than any other black bear population across the species’ range. New Jersey, where our study takes place, currently sustains the highest coupled density of black bears and humans on the continent. The region offers a gradient of landscapes and resources, from acorns within mature forests, to abundant anthropogenic food subsidies such as trash in (sub)urban areas and corn from crops. We will examine how this heterogenous landscape shapes individual fitness and black bear population dynamics using more than 25 years of demographic data. We will further discuss how our findings may help guide black bear management in the large region and promote coexistence between bear and humans.”
