Abstract
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.
