A new study led by researchers at Baylor University and University of Rhode Island has uncovered surprising details about ...

Antarctic sea ice is more than just a platform for penguins. The sea ice's high reflectivity influences the whole Earth's ...

Individual leopard seals specialize in specific prey types despite being generalist species, reshaping ecosystem dynamics.

Researchers measured the amount of nitrogen and carbon in the whiskers, which tells them the kinds of animals the leopard ...

A new study shows that melting sea ice due to increasing temperatures is leading to a "concerning" and severe decline in ...

The study of fur seals, almost all of which live on the sub-Antarctic islands of South Georgia, shows that the modern-day population peaked in 2009 at about 3.5 million -- a healthy number ...

Populations of Antarctic seals have halved over 50 years amid a warming climate and shrinking sea ice, a new study has shown.

It found that Weddell seals, which depend heavily on sea ice to breed and feed, and Antarctic fur seals, which breed on land but are still affected by environmental impacts on the food chain, have ...
