Summary: Twenty six European brown bears were captured,
radio-collared,and tracked in the Plitvice and Risnjak NP areas from
1981through 1991. The largest and mean ranges were 224 and 147 km2for
males, and 147 and 58 km2 for females, respectively. Themaximum and mean
day-to-day movements were 8.5 and 1.5 km,respectively. National parks
Plitvice Lakes and Risnjak are tosmall as a bear habitat.

of brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Croatia

Language: engleski
Summary: Sera from 22 European brown bears from Croatia were tested
to 18viral and rickettsial agents. Serologic evidence of exposure wasfound
to the following agents: Bhanja virus, Tahyna virus, WestNile virus, Naples
sandfly virus, human adenovirus, influenza Aand B virus, cytomegalovirus,
parainfluenza virus 1, Chlamidiapsittaci, Coxiella burnetii and canine
parvvirus 2. This may bethe first report of antibodies to CPV-2 in bears.

(Ursus arctos) in Croatia

Language: engleski
Summary: From 1981 to 1991, sera of 42 European brown bears were
testedfor antibodies against 12 Leptospira interrogans serovars.Diagnostic
levels of antybody were found in 17 (40%) sera; in 11of 32 free-living
bears and in 6 of 10 captive ones. Sv.australis was found in 6 bears,
sejroe in two, canicola inone, and icterohaemorrhagiae in one bear.

Journal: Zoo Biology

Summary: Amounts and types of food intake, as well as the growth
rate of5 orphaned European brown bear cubs were monitored fromthe ages of 1
month through 3 years. Among 6 feed formulas used,the one which simulated
the bears' milk (12% protein, 0.2%carbohidrates, 24% fat) showed the best
conversion rate. High fatcontent increased, whereas high carbohydrate
content decreasedthe conversion rates.
Keywords: European brown bear, Ursus arctos, food conversion, growth

Summary: We used the polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide
sequencing to study mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic variability of brown
bears (Ursus arctos) belonging to some western European populations. Small
and isolated bear populations were apparently monomorphic exhibiting the
risk of continuing future loss of gene diversity and increase of
inbreading. Artifitial gene flow through restocking could alleviate
inbreading depression in isolated bear populations, and mtDNA
phylogeographic relationships may provide a framework for their sound
genetic management. Croatian brown bears have been genetically closer to
the Italian ones, compared to the bears from Pyrenees, Romania and America.

Title: Stradanja medvjeda u ratu

Summary: The sufferings of bears due to the Serbian agressionon
Croatia were desctibed. The rumors about the mass migrations of bears to
Slovenia and further towards west were proved to be wrong.
