Diverging Food Web Functioning Around Southampton Island, Nunavut: The Influence of Primary Production Supply and Bathymetry. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSouthampton Island hosts two distinct benthic sub‐webs, north and south. North is deeper, phytoplankton‐driven; South is shallower, more ice‐algae driven. North benthos: bottom‐up control, four trophic levels including apex predators. South benthos: walrus top‐down control, trophic truncation to three levels.

Modeling Ringed and Bearded Seal Future Habitats Indicates Stability, Shifts, and Refugia. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolEvery year, ringed seals and bearded seals rely on specific ice and snow conditions to support events such as feeding or reproduction. With Earth System Models, we simulate habitat over 1850–2100, revealing a relatively stable past habitat contrasting with rapid regional shifts in contemporary simulations and future projections.

Spring haul-out behavior of seals in the Bering and Chukchi Seas: implications for abundance estimation [PDF]
PeerJIce-associated seals rely on sea ice for a variety of activities, including pupping, breeding, molting, and resting. In the Arctic, many of these activities occur in spring (April through June) as sea ice begins to melt and retreat northward.

Bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus) vocalizations across seasons and habitat types in Svalbard, Norway [PDF]
, 2021 Male bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) use vocal displays to attract females and to compete with other males during the mating season. This makes it possible to monitor breeding populations of this species using passive acoustic monitoring (PAM).
