A new study published Thursday in the journal Science sheds new light on the basic biology of the polar bear — and explores the threat receding sea ice may pose for its survival.

Polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea may be eating each other for a lack of their usual diet of seals, say researchers studying the animal. Scientists just completing a four-year survey of the ...

Areas that opened up during the month include the southern Beaufort Sea, where melt ponds have appeared on the drifting first-year ice, the center said. The Beaufort has had “dramatic summer ice ...

“However, summer sea ice conditions in the southern Beaufort Sea have changed considerably over the last 20 to 30 years, such that there is much more open water during summer and fall.

But over the past 20 years, two of the best-studied polar bear populations - in the western Hudson Bay and the southern Beaufort Sea - have declined by 22 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively.

The FWS estimated that only approximately 819 polar bears are in the Southern Beaufort Sea population. Bears in this region saw a 40% population decline during the 2000s.

One reason that the 2007 predictions of future polar bear survival were so far off base is that the model developed by American biologist Steven Amstrup (now at Polar Bears International, an NGO) ...

Research published in 2017 by Jodie D. Pongracz documented genetic confirmation in bears in the Inuvialuit region of the Southern Beaufort Sea.
