Differences between summer and autumn depending on changes of land cover types and sex in response to distances from open roads, forest roads, forest edges and rivers by Asiatic black bears in the central Japan Alps.

<p>Odds ratios for bear selection were calculated on the basis of logistic regression by controlling season inclusive interaction terms with sex and land cover. LRT denotes Log-likelihood Ratio Test in comparison with the constant only model.</p>a<p>denotes the level of significance by Wald statistics at the point estimate and</p>b<p>was the absolute difference from no selection (odds ratio = 1).
