The Little Ice Age: The History and Future of a Traveling Concept

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 16, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Since its inception, the “Little Ice Age” has grown into one of the most discussed “traveling concepts” in climate science, history, and communication. This article investigates the contested history and the potential uses of the “Little Ice Age” as a scientific boundary object.

Evidence for ephemeral middle Eocene to early Oligocene Greenland glacial ice and pan-Arctic sea ice

Nature Communications, 2018
Earth’s modern climate is defined by the presence of ice at both poles, but that ice is now disappearing. Therefore understanding the origin and causes of polar ice stability is more critical than ever.

Borealisation of Plant Communities in the Arctic Is Driven by Boreal‐Tundra Species

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.
We found limited borealisation rates across the tundra biome. However, borealisation was greater in Eurasia, closer to the treeline, at higher elevations, in warmer and wetter regions, where climate change was limited and where initial boreal abundance was lower. Boreal species colonised tundra plots less often than Boreal‐Tundra species.

Spatial Distribution of Greenland Shark Somniosus microcephalus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) Life Stages Across the Northern North Atlantic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study analyzes the body length and sex composition of Greenland sharks across the northern North Atlantic and demonstrates distinct demographic distribution patterns. Areas with high occurrence of adult females, juveniles, or neonates are identified allowing for pinpointing locations of high biological importance for the species listed as ...

Regions of open water and melting sea ice drive new particle formation in North East Greenland

Scientific Reports, 2018
Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) and growth significantly influences the indirect aerosol-cloud effect within the polar climate system. In this work, the aerosol population is categorised via cluster analysis of aerosol number size distributions (

Linking Measures of Inbreeding and Genetic Load to Demographic Histories Across Three Species of Bears

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Historic and contemporary demography affect deleterious variation and inbreeding depression, meaning that measuring genetic diversity alone does not capture the nuances of genetic erosion. Contrasting genomic signatures generated by long‐term evolutionary processes to those generated by contemporary changes may help differentiate between ...

Assessing the combined influence of biotic and anthropogenic stressors on polar bears to inform conservation planning

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Developing conservation strategies for species vulnerable to the effects of climate change, like polar bears (Ursus maritimus), can be challenging given the uncertainty of future environmental conditions. Effective conservation planning requires identifying and ranking threats to the persistence of polar bears throughout their circumpolar ...
