Ursus: A history of the journal

Ursus: A history of the journal

The International Association for Bear Research and Management has a publishing history dating back to 1968 with proceedings associated with their conferences. To improve the consistency and timeliness of publications, the peer-reviewed journal Ursus was established in the late 1990s and has become an important source for papers on all eight ursid species. This paper examines the history of the journal and the issues affecting its development over time. Ursus, with its foundation in the conference proceedings, has published over 1,000 papers. Collectively, the papers provide a significant source of information on the conservation, ecology, and management of bears.
