Smaller Seals: A Consequence of Climate Change
2014-07-28 20:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Antarctic fur seals are being born smaller and breeding less, experts are reporting. This, they say, is a direct result of changing climate conditions in their natural habitats. A study recently published in the journal Nature details how nearly three decades of data is showing an alarming trend: fur seal pups, namely the females, are being born smaller and smaller. "Over 27 years, we see pups being born with eight percent less body mass. We also see the females breeding later in age - at least...

Study: climate change affecting fur seals in Antarctica

Blue and Green: Warming climate impacting on krill population seals primary food sources is leading to animals being born smaller and females breeding later than usual, according to new research. In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists have suggested that changes in the availability of krill small crustaceans depending on sea ice have caused Antarctic fur seals from South Georgia to become food-stressed. This has meant pups being born with 8% less body mass and females breeding later...

Antarctic fur seals, once hunted to near extinction, now face climate threat

Christian Science Monitor: Climate change appears to be pulling the ecological rug out from under a once-stable population of Antarctic fur seals. Their numbers on a remote island in the South Atlantic are falling, even though an increasing proportion of survivors are displaying greater genetic variation a trait generally thought to boost an organism's ability to adapt to environmental stress. That's the pattern a pair of scientists has detected in a new study of the seal population, which researchers have been scrutinizing...
Climate change ravaging Antarctic fur seals
2014-07-24 00:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: A food shortage likely caused by climate change is shrinking a South Antarctic fur seal colony and changing the profile of its surviving members, researchers said Wednesday. South Georgia island's Antarctic fur seal pups have a lower average birth weight, and there are fewer breeding adults -- who hold out longer to reproduce than in the past, according to study results published in the journal Nature. Only the biggest animals survive to adulthood and reproduce. These are classic symptoms...
