Journals and Publications

In an increasingly ice-free ecosystem, a subpopulation of polar bears has adapted by developing a divergent movement strategy where some bears move to land in the summer months. In the March issue of Ecology, Pagano et al. show that these polar bears appear to energetically benefit from increased summer land use, while polar bears that remain on the diminishing summer pack ice appear to be energetically challenged due to increased sea ice retreat.

Method developed to protect threatened eelgrass meadows

By University of Gothenberg 3/13/2020 Researchers have used a new method to identify which eelgrass meadows on the Swedish coasts are particularly vulnerable or valuable and which meadows should be restored in the future. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a marine flowering plant that provides a habitat for a wide range of marine plants and animals, including several commercial fish, such as…

How species will cope with ocean acidification and the other consequences of global climate change is still very much unknown and could have sweeping consequences. Researchers from the University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fishery…
