5 days ago · With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive.

12 hours ago · But in our new study, my colleagues and I found that the changing climate was driving changes in the polar bear genome, potentially allowing them to more readily adapt to warmer …

6 days ago · Rising temperatures are not only reshaping the landscape in which these bears live; they appear to be rewriting the animals’ DNA itself. In southeastern Greenland, where the Arctic grows …

2 days ago · Warming temperatures appear to be driving genetic mutations in some polar bears to help them survive the shifting climatic conditions.

5 days ago · For most polar bears, the future looks grim. More than two-thirds face extinction by 2050 as sea ice vanishes beneath their paws. But in southeast Greenland, a small population is living through …

Dec 11, 2025 · A new study suggests that polar bears are undergoing rapid genetic changes, and scientists believe it's due to the impacts of climate change.

5 days ago · New research reveals a link between rising temperatures and changes in polar bear DNA, which may be helping them adapt and survive in increasingly challenging environments.
