"Understanding and Managing Human Tolerance for Black Bears in a Residential System" (Biological Conservation) - Used public mail surveys and conflict trash data to evaluate factors associated with peoples' tolerance of living with bears. "Cascading effects of human food on hibernation and cellular aging in black bears" (Scientific Reports) - Found that bears that used more human food had shorter hibernations and experienced increased biological/cellular aging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95d5637e3c3ae0dae4b8a2/1611782178713-LZYB8YIATFGS3225ISUX/BOD_LLC0163_18x24ratio_.jpg Welcome "Shifting Perceptions of Risk and Reward: Selection for Human Development by Black Bears" (Biological Conservation) - Found that bears dynamically use human development based on natural food conditions. "Experience, attitudes, and demographic factors influence the probability of reporting a human-black bear interaction" (Wildlife Society Bulletin) - Assessed factors associated with why people decide to report a bear interaction to the authorities. "A conceptual model for the integration of social and ecological information to understand human-wildlife interactions" (Biological Conservation) - Discusses ways to integrate ecological data (on bears) and social data (on people) to better understand the drivers of human-wildlife conflicts/interactions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95d5637e3c3ae0dae4b8a2/1597613598597-YUHUMQ9NRVHRBQE4X31E/BofD_Dusty-1802.jpg Welcome "Use of Acepromazine and Medetomidine for sedation and handling in elk and black bears" (Journal of Wildlife Diseases) - Developed a new drug combination for safely handling bears. "Chemical immobilization in American black bears using a combination of nalbuphine, medetomidine and azaperone" (Ursus) - used the study to develop another drug combination to safely handle bears by wildlife personnel. “Individual and population fitness consequences associated with large carnivore use of residential development” (Ecosphere) “Psychological Drivers of Risk-reducing behaviors to limit human-wildlife conflict” (Conservation Biology) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95d5637e3c3ae0dae4b8a2/1628390305793-U3PRGOL8SFQK8GXWSG9P/BoD_website_Full+Credits_072821b.jpeg Welcome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95d5637e3c3ae0dae4b8a2/1628390396896-QMWE87QCKCL4WIN1XLVB/BoD_website_kickstartersupporters_080721.jpg Welcome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bearsofdurango.com/blog-horizon daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://bearsofdurango.com/blog-horizon/2014/8/28/inertia-named-to-canon-mags-top-100-albums-of-the-decade-bg66b monthly 0.5 2014-08-28 https://bearsofdurango.com/blog-horizon/2014/8/28/gravity-out-now-c3mxf monthly 0.5 2014-08-28 https://bearsofdurango.com/blog-horizon/2014/8/28/clayton-lee-featured-in-canon-magazine-n2479 monthly 0.5 2014-08-28 https://bearsofdurango.com/blog-horizon/2014/8/28/new-gravity-tour-dates-posted-gzwl2 monthly 0.5 2014-08-28 https://bearsofdurango.com/gallery-horizon daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53fe025fe4b09b99036bcf87/1410274581494-E6ATYZLIW7R9IE45CKJR/EbruYildiz008_80_2048.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53fe025fe4b09b99036bcf87/1410274581494-E6ATYZLIW7R9IE45CKJR/EbruYildiz008_80_2048.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53fe025fe4b09b99036bcf87/1410274583201-LKOFY2JBRDCT0OKIM2SD/ebruyildiz018.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53fe025fe4b09b99036bcf87/1410274583223-3XXTPE1N8TMPPITJ3PCX/ebruyildiz037.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53fe025fe4b09b99036bcf87/1410274584053-DBS7KJH0BJMG0KWPRIN4/ebruyildiz050.jpg Gallery https://bearsofdurango.com/live-horizon daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53fe025fe4b09b99036bcf87/1412382515167-NYTYRFP4MI9A3XNUUR27/EbruYildiz_372.jpg Live https://bearsofdurango.com/video-horizon daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://bearsofdurango.com/instagram-horizon daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://bearsofdurango.com/readme-horizon daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53fe025fe4b09b99036bcf87/1412690352982-NEV633P54K2ET77XRKMZ/EbruYildiz_386.jpg Readme
