Worth the dip? Polar bear predation on swimming flightless greater snow geese and estimation of energetic efficiency

Worth the dip? Polar bear predation on swimming flightless greater snow geese and estimation of energetic efficiency

As sea-ice cover is shrinking, polar bears (Ursus maritimus, Phipps, 1774) face decreased access to seals, their primary prey, resulting in a greater dependence on terrestrial food sources. Whether polar bears can benefit from these terrestrial food sources, however, depends on their ability to find...
