Historical population dynamics of ringed seals, Pusa hispida, of the Svalbard archipelago:Predicting the response to climate change

Published: Apr 9, 2013
Abstract
The ringed seal (Pusa hispida) is a pagophilic seal species with a life cycle closely associated with the sea ice and also the key prey species for the polar bear (Ursus maritimus). Global warming is rapidly diminishing the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic, greatly reducing habitat availability for ringed seals and indirectly influencing the prey availability for polar bears. Predicting the effects of climate change on the abundance of...
