Spatial and temporal variability in ringed seal (Pusa hispida) stable isotopes in the Beaufort Sea [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Arctic ecosystem dynamics are shifting in response to warming temperatures and sea ice loss. Such ecosystems may be monitored by examining the diet of upper trophic level species, which varies with prey availability.

Ringed Seal (Pusa hispida) Haul‐Out Behavior and Emergence Timing in the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRinged seals are ice‐associated marine mammals that excavate lairs in snowdrifts on sea ice during winter for resting and pupping. Before lairs melt in the spring, seals shift from predominantly hauling out in lairs to predominantly hauling out on the ...

Combined Genetic and Telemetry Data Reveal High Rates of Gene Flow, Migration, and Long-Distance Dispersal Potential in Arctic Ringed Seals (Pusa hispida) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ringed seals (Pusa hispida) are broadly distributed in seasonally ice covered seas, and their survival and reproductive success is intricately linked to sea ice and snow.

Seasonal changes in diel haul‐out patterns of a lacustrine ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Seasonal changes in diel haul‐out patterns of the lacustrine Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis) were studied using a combination of satellite telemetry and camera traps during 2007–2015. We found the haul‐out activity patterns to vary seasonally.

Ringed seal (Pusa hispida) breeding habitat on the landfast ice in northwest Alaska during spring 1983 and 1984. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 There has been significant sea ice loss associated with climate change in the Pacific Arctic, with unquantified impacts to the habitat of ice-obligate marine mammals such as ringed seals (Pusa hispida).

Does salinity make a difference-Kidney anatomy of Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica). [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.

Number of Primordial Follicles in Juvenile Ringed Seals (Pusa hispida) from the Gulf of Bothnia and West Greenland [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Primordial follicles are important for the reproduction cycle and, therefore, also for the survival of the whole population of a species. Mammals have a large pool of primordial follicles, and it is thought that this pool represents the total number of ...
