AVERSIVE CONDITIONING INCREASES SHORT-TERM WARINESS BUT DOES NOT CHANGE HABITAT USE IN BLACK BEARS ASSOCIATED WITH CONFLICT.

Conflict between humans and black bears (Ursus americanus) occurs throughout North America with increasing public demand to replace lethal management with non-lethal methods, such as aversive conditioning (AC).AC aims to teach animals to associate negative stimuli with humans or their infrastructure.We sought to test the efficacy of AC using radio-
