Warming temperatures appear to be driving genetic mutations in some polar bears to help them survive the shifting climatic ...

Polar bears lose sea ice due to climate change, forcing them to fast longer and lose body fat, leading to emaciation. The ...

Polar bears in Southern Greenland show rapid genetic changes linked to jumping genes. Researchers suggest these may help them ...

When it comes to Arctic apex predators, the polar bear is the first animal that typically comes to mind. It’s a top predator, feasting on seals and occasionally other sea mammals. Its hunting skills ...

Polar bears are changing at a genetic level in response to climate change. This is what it means for the rest of the Arctic.

Researchers say the findings, the first documented case of rising temperatures driving genetic change in a mammal, offer a ...

New research has suggested that polar bears could be rewriting their DNA in order to adapt to warmer climates.

Sometimes I wonder how the polar bear became the poster animal for climate change. These are ferocious beasts—they’ve even be known to engage in a little cannibalism when food gets tight. They’re far ...
