Arctic‐breeding black‐legged kittiwakes show individual variation in foraging responses to glacial conditions without consequences for reproductive output

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Behavioural plasticity is likely to influence how individuals continue to access resources under rapid climate change. Plasticity will be particularly important at highly dynamic, prey‐rich foraging areas such as upwelling fronts of marine‐terminating glaciers in the high Arctic, where profitability varies significantly across space and time ...

Ringed Seal (Pusa hispida) Abundance in Isfjorden, Svalbard, After 20‐Years of Climate Change and a Concomitant Survey Hiatus

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Ringed seals (Pusa hispida) in Svalbard, Norway, are suspected to be declining due to a significant reduction in land‐fast sea ice, which serves as an essential breeding habitat, but were last surveyed in 2002. We address this data gap by conducting Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) aerial surveys throughout Isfjorden (including adjacent small ...

Intra‐species differences in impacts of climate change: A case study of the hooded seal (Cystophora cristata)

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average, but the rate of change is not uniform across the region. Wide‐ranging Arctic species are exposed to variable environmental conditions across their range, but it remains unclear how different climate change regimes are affecting populations within the same species that have

Status and biology of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) in Svalbard

NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2010
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

Biogeographic Changes in a High Latitude Marine Fish Community: Short‐Time Reversals in Response to Climate Variation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Determine whether changes in fish biogeographic composition and key facets of biodiversity are reversible at short time scales in a high latitude marine ecosystem experiencing ocean warming in the context of a recent short‐term cooling, and an increasing then declining dominant apex predator population. Location Barents Sea. Methods Survey

Trophic Structure and the Isotopic Niche Dynamics of the Tasiujaq (Eclipse Sound, Nunavut, Canada) Marine Food Web

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2025.
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

The thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia) in Northwest Greenland (Avanersuaq) relies on Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) in a changing climate

Arctic Science
Considering seabirds as indicators of environmental change, we compared thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia (Linnaeus, 1758)) adult and chick diet in the North Water polynya region, NW Greenland, during 1997 and 2023.

Growth of Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) in the Barents Sea

, 1990
Observed length-at-age, and backcalculated lengths based on otolith measurements, from samples of polar cod collected in the Barents Sea in autumn of 1987 to 1989, were analysed. An increase in individual length growth of one-year-olds was observed from 1987 to 1989.
