Scientists Discover Polar Bears Are Rapidly Rewriting Their Own DNA as . . . Their main obstacle is the same warming trend that appears to be stirring their DNA into action Tracing the Hotspots of Change To understand how profound the genetic shifts might be, the UEA team looked deeper into the polar bear genome
Warming Climate Triggers DNA Shifts in Polar Bears | Technology Networks 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 The study by scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) discovered that some genes related to heat-stress, aging and metabolism are behaving differently in polar bears living in southeastern Greenland, suggesting
Polar Bears in Warmest Greenland Are Rewriting Their DNA Here’s where the story gets complicated, though The genetic changes represent a kind of molecular desperation as the bears’ world melts around them The southeastern population offers what researchers call a “genetic blueprint” for how polar bears might respond to climate change, making them a critical focus for conservation genomics
Polar bears can adapt to survival in a warmer climate – study Implications for polar bear survival Dr Godden added: "While the rest of the species is threatened with extinction, these particular bears provide a genetic blueprint for how polar bears can rapidly adapt to climate change, making their unique genetic code an important target for conservation efforts "However, we cannot be complacent
