This episode will answer all your questions about polar bears - including those you didn’t know you had. Our guest is Professor Andrew Derocher from the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta who specialises in ecology, conservation, and management of large Arctic mammals with a particular focus on polar bears. The subjects discussed include the limiting and regulating factors of polar bear populations, habitat use, predator-prey relationships, the effects of climate change as well as the accumulation of toxic chemicals in bears' bodies. We also explore the issue of polar bear hybridisation with brown bears and how this might impact their population. We ended our conversation with an attempt to predict the future of polar bears in the rapidly warming world.
