“…7 A tremendous source of instability for humans and other animals alike are natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, and massive weather events, such as hurricanes. 8,9 Extreme weather can cause widespread destruction of the natural landscape, resources, and infrastructure, 10 all of which can disrupt the lives of humans and other animals. 11 With the intensifying climate crisis, devastating storms are expected to become less predictable 12 and increase in both frequency and force.…”

“…Understanding the timing and duration of seasonal habitat use is increasingly needed as researchers seek to understand the effect of climate change on species phenology and the resulting response by ecosystems (Staudinger et al., 2013; Weiskopf et al., 2020). The current research was conducted in the Great South Bay, NY, an ecosystem that is driven by the timing of a suite of predator species that occupy the ecosystem seasonally and include sand tiger sharks, summer flounder, black seas bass Centropristis striata , and striped bass Morone saxatilis , among others (Nuttall et al., 2011; Olin et al., 2019).…”

“…Moreover, the increased climatic variability could make the weather patterns that govern the seasonality of animal life cycles to some extent more unpredictable for many organisms, including bears (Weiskopf et al, 2020). Actually, these interannual fluctuations in hibernation chronology due to climatic conditions have already been reported in both American black bears (Miller, Smith, Auger, Black, & Allphin, 2017) and brown bears (Delgado et al, 2018;Evans et al, 2016;Friebe et al, 2014;McLoughlin, Case, et al, 2002;.…”

Hibernation represents an adaptation for coping with unfavorable environmental conditions. For brown bears Ursus arctos, hibernation is a critical period as pronounced temporal reductions in several physiological functions occur. Here, we review the three main aspects of brown bear denning: (1) den chronology, (2) den characteristics, and (3) hibernation physiology in order to identify (a) proximate and ultimate factors of hibernation as well as (b) research gaps and conservation priorities. Den chronology, which varies by sex and reproductive status, depends on environmental factors, such as snow, temperature, food availability, and den altitude. Significant variation in hibernation across latitudes occurs for both den entry and exit. The choice of a den and its surroundings may affect individual fitness, for example, loss of offspring and excessive energy consumption. Den selection is the result of broad‐ and fine‐scale habitat selection, mainly linked to den insulation, remoteness, and availability of food in the surroundings of the den location. Hibernation is a metabolic challenge for the brown bears, in which a series of physiological adaptations in tissues and organs enable survival under nutritional deprivation, maintain high levels of lipids, preserve muscle, and bone and prevent cardiovascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis. It is important to understand: (a) proximate and ultimate factors in denning behavior and the difference between actual drivers of hibernation (i.e., factors to which bears directly respond) and their correlates; (b) how changes in climatic factors might affect the ability of bears to face global climate change and the human‐mediated changes in food availability; (c) hyperphagia (period in which brown bears accumulate fat reserves), predenning and denning periods, including for those populations in which bears do not hibernate every year; and (d) how to approach the study of bear denning merging insights from different perspectives, that is, physiology, ecology, and behavior.
