Grizzlies and polar bears mating more frequently
2016-05-28 23:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Comment: The warmer temperatures have led to expanded territories for the grizzlies to roam and run into polar bear mates, which could lead to polar bears as we know them to dissolve into the grizzly population. Grizzlies and polar bears have enough genetic similarity to allow for interbreeding - they are thought to have split off from the same genetic line no more than 500,000 years ago - but scientists have yet to determine if a hybrid bear can reproduce or what their survival rate might look like. "If...

Dinosaur Extinction Event Took Out Polar Creatures, Too

United Press International: Whether caused by asteroid or volcanism -- or both -- scientists now know few places on Earth offered safety from the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs. An extensive survey of ancient marine fossils from the Antarctic Peninsula proves the ecosystems to the south suffered considerably during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. The survey included 6,000 marine fossils dated to between 69 million and 65 million years old. A wide range of species and sizes were included -- from sea...

Antarctic Fossils Suggest That Mass Extinction Event in Polar Regions as Rapid as Elsewhere
2016-05-27 22:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study, published in the journal Nature Communications revealed that animals living in the Polar Regions suffered from the sudden and deadly effect of the mass extinction event just like elsewhere in the world. Previously, scientists believe that animals in the Polar Regions are far enough away from the cause of the extinction to be badly affected. They also proposed that organisms living in the poles would have been more resilient to global climatic changes associated with an asteroid impact...
