Loss of arctic ice may contribute to extinction - Courtesy of In the Loop Scientists have expected for some time that the Arctic Ocean will be ice-free in summer by the end of this century. Writing in the Dec. 16 issue of the journal Nature, a trio of researchers, including conservation geneticist Andrew Whiteley, say the seasonal loss of this ice sheet, a continent-sized natural barrier between species such as bears, whales and seals, could mean extinction of some rare marine mammals and the loss of many adaptive gene combinations. The team also includes marine mammalogist and first author Brendan Kelly of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's marine mammal lab in Juneau and evolutionary biologist David Tallmon of the University of Alaska. Genes developed over millennia in isolated populations, they say, have given many Arctic marine animals sets of fine-tuned adaptations, helping them uniquely thrive in the harsh environment. Their article for the first time looks ahead to speculate on what biologists...
