摘要: Abstract We determined the seasonal food habits of brown bears Ursus arctos in three regions Hokkaido, Japan, over eight years (1991–1998) by analysing stomach contents 556 killed for nuisance control or sport hunting. Seasonally dominant items changed from herbaceous plants (61–80% volume) spring, to (53–97% and ants (0–18% early summer, crops (32–46% (26–31% late berries (25–39% volume), acorns nuts (8-16% autumn. These diet shifts were consistent among investigated regions. Crop depredation summer occurred extensively Hokkaido was probably driven a shortage alternative sources during this season. The proportion sika deer Cervus nippon yesoensis increased 1990s eastern (25.2% frequency), where consumed throughout year. Bears acquired mea...
