• Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change (2006, background): “Furthermore, researchers have also linked warming trends to reductions of the bears’ main food, the ringed seal (Derocher et al. 2004, Ferguson et al. 2005).”
• Possible Effects of Climate Warming on Selected Populations of Polar Bears ( Ursus maritimus ) in the Canadian Arctic (2009, background): “…on the distribution, abundance, and life history of prey species in some areas occupied by these polar bear populations (e.g., Lunn et al., 1997; Ferguson et al., 2005; Stirling, 2005), they are generally inadequate for more than speculation about their possible relevance to trends in polar…”
• Seasonal and annual movement patterns of polar bears on the sea ice of Hudson Bay (2006, unknown): “The reasons for lower energy intake are unclear, but they may be related to recent declines in ringed seal survival and recruitment in Hudson Bay (Ferguson et al. 2005; Stirling 2005).”
• Quantifying the sensitivity of Arctic marine mammals to climate-induced habitat change. (2008, background): “More recent studies of ringed seals in western Hudson Bay have indicated reduced reproduction, pup survival, and recruitment of ringed seals possibly correlated with decreased snow depth, a general warming trend, and changes in the timing of breakup of sea ice (Ferguson et al. 2005, Stirling 2005).”
• Population ecology of polar bears at Svalbard, Norway (2005, background): “However, a recent study on ringed seals has linked the North Atlantic Oscillation and climatic parameters to the recruitment of seal pups into the population (Ferguson et al. 2005).”
• Impacts of changing sea-ice conditions on Arctic marine mammals (2011, background): “Major declines in abundance or pup production have recently been documented for hooded seals in the Northeast Atlantic, harp seals in the White Sea and ringed seals in Hudson Bay, which have been attributed largely to climate change impacts on ice conditions (Ferguson et al. 2005; Chernook and Boltn”
• POLAR BEAR DIETS AND ARCTIC MARINE FOOD WEBS: INSIGHTS FROM FATTY ACID ANALYSIS (2008, background): “…hunt, and changes in the amount and timing of ice cover may reduce bears’ ability to access offshore prey (Stirling et al. 1999, Stirling and Parkinson 2006), as well as affect the distribution, migration patterns, and reproductive success of those prey (Ferguson et al. 2005, Johnston et al. 2005).”
• Spatial and temporal patterns of problem polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba (2009, background): “Since the last studies of problem bears in the 1980s (Lunn and Stirling 1985; Kearney 1989; Leonard 1989) significant changes have occurred in polar bear sea ice habitat, prey, and the WH population itself (Stirling et al. 2004; Gagnon and Gough 2005; Ferguson et al. 2005; Regehr et al. 2007; Laidre”
• Seasonal home ranges and fidelity to breeding sites among ringed seals (2010, background): “That reduction in sea ice is expected to negatively impact ringed seal populations (Tynan and DeMaster 1997; Kelly 2001; Smith and Harwood 2001; Stirling and Smith 2004; Ferguson et al. 2005; Freitas et al. 2008b; Laidre et al. 2008; Schmölcke 2008; Cooper et al. 2009).”
