As Arctic sea ice shrinks, new research shows how much energy polar bears use to find food
In order to understand how polar bears in the Arctic will face environmental changes, a new study has revealed just how much energy a bear requires to hunt.
My research is examining the physiology of wild and captive polar bears. In particular, I am quantifying the behaviors and energetic rates of polar bears to examine habitat use and the effect that declining sea ice conditions may have on polar bear energetic rates.
