Rapid changes in sea ice cover associated with global warming are poised to have marked impacts on polar marine mammals. [...] Key Result We found that extreme morphological and physiological adaptations enabling year-round Arctic residency by narwhals limit behavioral flexibility for responding to alternations in sea ice.Expand Abstract
