Fatal long distance roaming of a male bear highlights survival threats to dispersing bears in the Apennines, central Italy
From September 2006 through May 2010, we repeatedly detected an adult male bear (G70) through non-invasive sampling in the Sibillini National Park (SNP; central Apennines, Italy), at the northernmost periphery of the reported Apennine bear range. Notwithstanding sustained sampling effort, we failed...
