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.

Polar bears, in recent years, have become one of the most recognisable symbols of climate change. They might also be ...

New research reveals a link between rising temperatures and changes in polar bear DNA, which may be helping them adapt and ...

The researchers analysed blood samples taken from polar bears in two regions of Greenland and compared “jumping genes”: small ...

Polar bears are expected to become extinct but there are some signs their DNA is changing and they are adapting to new ...

Scientists in a recent breakthrough have discovered a paradigm shift in polar bears’ genetics, helping them to adapt to disastrous realities of climate change. Owing to human-caused ...

A new study suggests that polar bears are undergoing rapid genetic changes, and scientists believe it's due to the impacts of climate change.

Blood samples from warm vs. cold Greenland bears reveal genetic patterns that could predict how polar bears respond to ...

A photographer captured a beautiful moment in Svalbard's Arctic waters, but climate change threatens to change that.

As climate change diminishes sea ice from coastal communities in the Arctic and the subarctic, researchers expect polar bears to range farther into the towns and camps in that remote part of the world ...

Dr. Amy Butler with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the early polar vortex disruption is unusual and ...
