Benthic-pelagic decoupling and walrus responses to a warming Arctic
A walrus diet typically consists of invertebrates that live on the seafloor, consumed in large quantities with the help of special morphological traits. In addition to the threats posed by diminishing sea ice in their Arctic habitat, global climate change is causing a major shift in the Pacific Arct...
