Ecological plasticity of denning chronology by American black bears and brown bears
Body size and metabolism
TLDR
In spite of the theoretical weakness of the surface law, the computation of basal metabolism to the unit of the body surface seems at present the most satisfactory method available of equalizing experimental results for differences in the size of experimental animals.
Denning of Brown Bears in Croatia
Twenty-eight dens of 15 different European brown bears (Ursus arctos) were located, monitored and measured during 1981-92. Ten of them were used by females with cubs, 9 by single females, 5 by males,…

Abstract Fossils of the giant short-faced bear, Arctodus simus (Cope, 1879), have been recovered from over 100 localities in North America, extending from Mexico to Alaska and California to Virginia.…

Body Size and Blood Characteristics as Indicators of Condition and Reproductive Performance in Black Bears
TLDR
Examination of relationships between reproductive performance of female Minnesota black bears and various potential indicators of nutritional condition during late hibernation found litter size was influenced more by litter order than by maternal condition, and weight and growth of cubs and yearlings were closely related to mother's ize.
