I was just four years old when my family moved to Baffin Island, Canada, where we lived in a remote village among the Indigenous Peoples known as the Inuit. I spent most of my time outside, roaming ...

“They (polar bears) have indeed lost a lot of their past genetic diversity, and because of this, they are very likely more sensitive to climate-change threats today.” An analysis of newly sequenced ...

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 ...

A new study from the University of East Anglia suggests that polar bears are undergoing rapid genetic changes, and scientists believe it's due to the impacts of climate change. “It’s kind of the first ...

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 ...

Climate change is triggering genetic changes in polar bears in the North Atlantic, a new study reveals. Scientists have discovered a strong link between rising temperatures in southeast Greenland and ...

Scientists expected the opposite, but polar bears in the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard have become fatter and healthier since the early 1990s, all while sea ice has steadily declined due to ...

Full-grown bears are by no means immune to danger, however. The authors cite earlier research predicting that the adult male population could decrease by 24% if the ice-free summer season increases to ...
