Climate change introduces threatened killer whale populations and conservation challenges to the Arctic

2023-11-27

Abstract excerpt

The Arctic is the fastest-warming region on the planet, and sea ice loss has opened new habitat for sub-Arctic species such as the killer whale ( Orcinus orca ). As apex predators, killer whales can cause significant ecosystem-scale changes, however, we know very little about killer whales in the Arctic. Setting conservation priorities for killer whales and their Arctic prey species requires knowledge of their ev...
