Description
Summary:Ursus Linnaeus, 1758. Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1:47. TYPE SPECIES: Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758, by tautonymy (Melville and Smith, 1987). SYNONYMS: Thalarctos. COMMENTS: The close relationship of these four species has been generally recognized by morphological and molecular studies (Goldman et al., 1989; Hendey, 1980a; Kurtén and Anderson, 1980; Shields and Kocher, 1990). Allen (1938) proposed a close relationship between thibetanus and americanus. Thenius (1953), Goldman et al. (1989), and Shields and Kocher (1991) gave support to the monophyly of arctos with maritimus. Published as part of W.
