Animals may fall into what are called
evolutionary and ecological traps when they make poor decisions using seemingly
reliable environmental cues. For example, animals may select habitats to occupy
based on food availability, but mortality may be highest in habitats with the
highest food availability. A new Mammal Review article examines how
the brown (grizzly) bear can fall into such traps in human-modified landscapes,
which may contribute to decreases in brown bear populations.
