| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to clarify the influence of genetic relatedness on bear’s social relations. We investigated dynamic interaction of GPS collared bears from 9-years survey data, and estimated genetic relatedness from genetic analysis. We confirmed that dynamic interaction was observed in both different sex and same sex regardless of season. Male-female associations had longer durations and showed a clear seasonal fluctuation compared to same sex associations. Duration of association of same sex never lasted more than 20 hours. Most of the male-female and male-male associations were not genetically related, which suggested bears avoided inbreeding. More than half of female-female associations were genetically related, but the duration of association was not affected by genetic relatedness.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、不明な点の多かったツキノワグマの個体間関係の詳細について、長期間のGPSテレメトリー調査から初めて解明することができた。なかでも、ツキノワグマの種の存続にとって最も重要と考えられる交尾を伴う異性同士の近接から明らかとなった近接時間や行動は、交尾行動の重要性を示唆しており、クマ類の生息地選択を解釈する際の重要な知見を得た。近年問題となっているツキノワグマの人里出没要因について検討する際は、食物資源や採食行動のみならず交尾行動についても考慮することが必要である。
