Scientists have quantified how much climate change has driven the population decline of polar bears living in Canada's Hudson ...

This prolonged fasting drains polar bears’ energy reserves, reducing their ability to reproduce and raise cubs. Without ...

The researchers developed a model that finds population decline is the result of the bears not getting enough energy, and that’s due to a lack of food caused by shorter hunting seasons on dwindling ...
