Predicting survival, reproduction and abundance of polar bears
... Prediction of polar bear population dynamics under climate change is challenging, because observed and predicted environmental conditions differ substantially (Wiig et al., 2008). Consequently, few data exist to inform us how reproduction and survival (and thus population abundance) might change und ...
