ABSTRACT In Mexico, black bear (Ursus americanus) is an endangered species. Human invasion of its habitat has provoked a change in its foraging behavior. Human–black bear interactions (HBIs) occur in a variety of locations and create conflict. Spatial information can predict the probabilities of interaction and identify environmental variables. We implemented ecological niche models to identified areas with high probability of HBI. Results indicated that the occurrence of interactions was related to submontane scrub, forest, and urban zones. Verification was carried out in the field, which confirmed the high performance and accuracy of the probability model.

北墨西哥人与黑熊的互动

摘要 在墨西哥，黑熊（Ursus americanus）是一种濒危物种。人类对其栖息地的入侵引发了其觅食行为的变化。人与黑熊的互动 (HBI) 发生在不同的地点并引发冲突。空间信息可以预测相互作用的概率并识别环境变量。我们实施了生态位模型来确定 HBI 概率高的区域。结果表明，相互作用的发生与山下灌丛、森林和城市地区有关。在现场进行了验证，证实了概率模型的高性能和准确性。
