Assignment III

This particular experiment dealt with the population ecology of polar bears

located in Svalbard, Norway and was examined from the years 1988 to 2002 using live-

captured animals. It was concluded from this experiment that mean age of both females

and males increased over the study, litter production rate and natality declined and body

length of adults decreased. Associated with the dynamics of body mass could be tied to

cyclical changes over time. In terms of variation in body mass of both adult male and

female polar bears could be also tied to the Arctic Oscillation index. What was also

seemed to be tied to this Arctic Oscillation index was of course natality and litter

production rate. However, the variation in reproduction and body mass in the population

shows a relationship with climate change.

In terms of methodology, Polar bears greater or equal to one year of age were

captured using a helicopter and the remote......
