Learn how climate change is shifting the way seals hunt and how a lose of ice could create bigger risks even still.

As climate change reshapes Arctic food webs, ringed seals will swim into risky polar bear territory if the menu is varied ...

Polar bears in one of the fastest-warming parts of the Arctic are showing clear changes in how their DNA behaves, according to a new study. Researchers examined genetic activity in polar bears from ...

Polar bears are leaping through their evolution in real time as rising temperatures threaten their habitat. A population of bears was found in a climate warmer than one in which they usually exist, ...

Climate change is starving polar bears into extinction, according to research published Monday that predicts the apex carnivores could all but disappear within the span of a human lifetime. In some ...

With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive. The species is ...

Polar bears appear to be turning to inbreeding for survival. A study published in the Royal Society Journals shows a loss of up to 10% of genetic diversity in the polar bear population from Svalbard ...
