Now, because of the extensive loss of ice cover in summer and winter, they are having to work much harder to stay alive. HUNTING BELOW THE ARCTIC ICE The cold, dark Arctic winter is the season to feast for both polar bears and narwhals tha...
The group has adapted to hunting on glacial ice, which suggests some members of the species might survive as the Arctic heats up. An isolated population of polar bears has been discovered in southeast Greenland1, which is free of sea ice for most of the year. Polar bears (Ursus maritimus)...
Whilst water availability is probably the dominant driver of terrestrial biodiversity patterns in Antarctica (Convey et al. 2014) it is relatively poorly resolved in future mod- els for ice-free areas of Antarctica as well as for the Arctic (Constable et al. 2022). A key area for ...
Science of the Cold The commonest question asked about polar animals in Antarctica and the Arctic is how do they live and thrive in the extreme cold conditions that are found there?The ProblemAir temperatures averaging below freezing over the year (usually well below freezing) with a range in...
In a series of experiments, we maintained tadpoles in a low- or high-risk envir- onment for at least 5 days (5-9 days), and then staged encounters between tadpoles and predators, as would happen during an inva- sion. We repeated this testing by using tadpoles which were main- tained ...

Frozen and stuck in the Arctic ice for ten months, his ship The Endurance drifted for over 800 miles to the north. The Endurance was eventually crushed by the pressure of the ice, forcing the crew to abandon ship. They hauled tens of thousands of pounds of gear, food, scientific equipment...
Island populations were studied on the coast of northern Norway,just below the Arctic Circle,during 2003-2018,by capture-mark-recapture. The main aims were to study growth rates,asymptotic weight and survival,expecting that the "optimal" weight for surviving the winter would be 140-160 g. The...
Climate scientists have predicted that the Arctic Ocean will be ice-free by the summer of 2050 [6]. Food shortages will likely be one of the most consequential for survival. As global temperatures increase, flowers and plants will begin to bloom sooner in the spring, so pollen production and...
