ABSTRACT Rapid warming in the Arctic is causing cumulative impacts on ecosystems, including widespread reduction in sea ice extent, resulting in shifts in primary production, which can have cascading bottom‐up trophic influences on marine food web structure and function. Understanding trophic interactions and the structure of local food webs across the

Spring phenology of the Arctic Ocean shelf production system
The shelf areas of the Arctic Ocean host some of the world’s most productive marine ecosystems, yet their under-ice early-season phenology and inter-trophic dynamics remain poorly understood amid rapid climate change.

Morphological variation and habitat‐trophic metrics from carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes were estimated in Greenland cod (Gadus ogac) collected along the marine coast near Ulukhaktok, NT, in the western Canadian Arctic. This study provides critical insights into the ability of coastal Arctic Gadids to respond to shifts in resource use

Status and trends in the structure of Arctic benthic food webs [PDF]
Ongoing climate warming is causing a dramatic loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, and it is projected that the Arctic Ocean will become seasonally ice-free by 2040.

Status and biology of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) in Svalbard
Harbour seals in Svalbard are the northernmost population of this species. This small population is comprised of ca. 1,000 individuals, most of which reside along the west coast of Prins Karls Forland (78°20’N). Satellite tracking studies have shown that

ABSTRACT Statistical distributions of spatial abundance data of animal populations can be informative about underlying processes and mechanisms that govern the spatial distributions. Here, we examine a large data set from annual 0‐group fish surveys in the Barents Sea (1980–2017) collected with standardised trawl sampling from a regular grid with 30–35

Impact of dispersed fuel oil on cardiac mitochondrial function in polar cod Boreogadus saida
In this study, impact of dispersed oil on cardiac mitochondrial function was assessed in a key species of Arctic marine ecosystem, the polar cod Boreogadus saida. Mature polar cod were exposed during 48 h to dispersed oil (mechanically and chemically) and dispersants alone.
