[The] new Bayesian model estimates the proportion of pups that are unavailable to the survey because they have moved out of the area. The new birth distribution model should be used to refit the complete time series of pup production in order to incorporate it in future assessments. This is the second assessment that has resulted in a significant downward revision in the previous estimate of grey seal abundance. These changes are due to a slowing in the rate of increase in pup production, using a different assessment model, and a new male : female sex ratio. The new model provides a significant downward revision in estimated juvenile survival and indicates that the dynamics of the grey seal population are changing relatively rapidly in a manner that is not well understood. 3, record 1, English, - downward%20revision

A population model was used to examine changes in the size of the Northwest Atlantic harp seal population between 1952 and 2014.

As climate fluctuations alter the habitat availability of polar bears, it is crucial that we identify the preferred habitat of polar bears to fully understand their future required needs and appropriately support management of polar bear populations.... the preferred habitat of polar bears typically depends on seal availability[. Therefore], stable annual sea ice, which provides a platform for seals to give birth in the spring, along with the dynamic ice edge in spring and early summer are important factors in polar bear population. 1, record 5, English, - preferred%20habitat
