Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: A long‐term seabird study
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Drawing on two decades of research in East Greenland, this study shows that little auks, key seabird indicators of Arctic ecosystem health, can adapt to rapid environmental change through behavioural flexibility. However, increasing storms and mercury pollution are pushing resilience to its limits, providing an early warning of broader Arctic ...
