The Namur area in Belgium is useful to study brown (Ursus arctos) and cave bears spelaeus) as the assemblage contains little temporal no geographical variation. Here, we aim assess ontogenetic allometry within bears, well ecomorphological differences between adult (n = 9), 5) juvenile 3). Landmarks for 3D digitization of mandible were chosen based on taphonomical damage specimens. Extant extinc...

Knowledge on habitat suitability of ecologically important species is central for their conservation management. The occurrence records brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Kurdestan Province Iran and environmental data were compiled to predict the ecological niche this using Maxent distribution algorithm. Satellite imagery Landsat 5 8 1990 2017 was also employed investigate human-induced land degradat...
