| Title: | Walrus facing new challenges in a changing Arctic / Tom Arnbom. |
| Author(s): | Arnbom, Tom. |
| Date: | 2009. |
| In: | Circle. (2009.), Vol. 4 (2009) |
| Abstract: | Discusses evidence of impact of diminution in Arctic sea ice on walrus Odobenus rosmarus populations. Identifies two possible factors: increase in risk of death by trampling as walrus colonies are concentrated into smaller haul-out sites; and difficulties in accessing sources of food owing to increased distances between pack ice and continental shelves. |
| Notes: | Circle. Vol. 4 :15-17 (2009). Special issue: The changing Arctic : how species are being impacted. |
