Development of short-target primers for species identification in biological studies of Carnivora. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Abstract Noninvasive genetic sampling greatly facilitates studies on the genetics, ecology, and conservation of threatened species. Species identification is often a prerequisite for noninvasive sampling‐based biological studies. Due to the low quantity and quality of genomic DNA from noninvasive samples, high‐performance short‐target PCR primers are ...

Seasonal distribution of harp seals (Phoca groenlandica) in the Barents Sea
Polar Research, 1994 The distributional patterns of Barents Sea harp seals (Phoca groenlandica) throughout the year are presented based on existing literature and recent Norwegian and Russian field observations. The harp seals breed in February-March in the White Sea. Moulting occurs during April to June in the White Sea and southern Barents Sea.

ASAIO Journal, 2012 Biological valves offer significant advantages over mechanical valves, and for this reason, we studied the possibility of using a new animal source such as that of Phoca groenlandica. Four aortic and four pulmonary leaflets were cut radially and their uniaxial tensile testing was evaluated.

Pseudopregnancy in harp seals ( Phoca groenlandica ) [PDF]
Reproduction, 1994 Abstract Concentrations of circulating progesterone were monitored in a captive breeding group of harp seals. Five females were monitored for 2 years, over which time they either became pregnant (four instances) or displayed an overt pseudopregnancy (five instances). Only one female exhibited consecutive pseudopregnancies.

Combined threats of climate change and contaminant exposure through the lens of bioenergetics
Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 18, Page 5139-5168, September 2023., 2023 Climate change is transforming bioenergetic landscapes, challenging energetic homeostasis. Exposure to chemical contaminants may compound this threat. We reviewed the literature for evidence of interactive effects between climate change‐sensitive environmental variables and chemical contaminant exposure within five bioenergetic domains.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 316-334, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Greenland is one of the places on Earth where the effects of climate change are most evident. The retreat of sea ice has made East Greenland more accessible for longer periods during the year. East Greenland fjords have been notoriously difficult to study due to their remoteness, dense sea ice conditions and lack of infrastructure.

Geographic distributions shape the functional traits in a large mammalian family
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 19, Page 13175-13185, October 2021., 2021 We used bears as a model system, and collected and reanalyzed data from the available literature to explore how geographical distribution shapes the functional traits of animals. This is the first time to use the species within a family to explore the relationships between geographic distribution and functional traits of animals and demonstrate the ...

Microsatellite Diversity and Fitness in Stranded Juvenile Harp Seals (Phoca groenlandica) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2006 A positive relationship between genetic diversity at neutral markers and juvenile survival has been demonstrated for many vertebrate populations, although the correlation is typically weak and the explanation for it remains controversial. We assessed variation at 9-12 microsatellite loci in 65 juvenile harp seals (Phoca groenlandica) that stranded in ...
