[HTML][HTML] A review of the combined effects of climate change and other local human stressors on the marine environment
Climate change (CC) is a key, global driver of change of marine ecosystems. At local and
regional scales, other local human stressors (LS) can interact with CC and modify its effects …

Glacial ice supports a distinct and undocumented polar bear subpopulation persisting in late 21st-century sea-ice conditions
Polar bears are susceptible to climate warming because of their dependence on sea ice,
which is declining rapidly. We present the first evidence for a genetically distinct and …
