Perhaps one of the most critical findings was the ability to link survival of polar bears Patient to sea ice. In other words, survival of polar bears was higher in years when sea ice covered the continental shelf for longer periods of time, presumably because bears continued to have access to ice seals, their preferred prey.

Rookeries are critical to the survival of both gravid females and neonates that are born at these sites Patient . Rookeries tend to be close to hibernacula, which is likely an adaptation to reduced ability to move and limited energy reserves available to these individuals.
