Sharing Is Caring?—Pathogens and Pathogen‐Specific Antibodies in Arctic Endemic Seal Species and the Newly Sympatric Harbor Seals in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change associated transformations of Arctic marine ecosystems are having detrimental impacts on Arctic endemic marine mammals. However, warming conditions are providing new habitats for temperate marine mammals, some of which are expanding into Arctic regions, posing a threat of novel pathogen introduction and disease transmission.

A new NDVI measure that overcomes data sparsity in cloud-covered regions predicts annual variation in ground-based estimates of high arctic plant productivity

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
Efforts to estimate plant productivity using satellite data can be frustrated by the presence of cloud cover. We developed a new method to overcome this problem, focussing on the high-arctic archipelago of Svalbard where extensive cloud cover during the ...

Ice Sheet Dynamics Drive Pronounced Changes in the Subsurface Freshwater‐Saltwater Interface

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Saltwater is migrating into freshwater aquifers globally with water quality and biogeochemical implications, yet saltwater intrusion in glaciated regions is sparsely investigated. Field observations suggest that groundwater head in glaciated systems is influenced by ice sheet forcings and provides evidence that seawater infiltrated into ...

Rainfall and Rain‐on‐Snow Events Over Greenland in Summer: Climatology, Trends, Synoptics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Rain‐on‐snow (ROS) events in the Arctic can lead to major impacts on the snow cover, cryosphere and environment. During the last decades, these events have significantly increased, mostly due to climate change. Here, we use outputs from the regional climate model MAR (version 3.14) driven by the ERA5 reanalysis at 10‐km resolution over ...

Meiofauna Biodiversity and Community Structures in the Barents Sea and Nansen Basin Are Influenced by Benthic Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Benthic meiofauna in the Barents Sea were investigated for spatiotemporal variability and taxonomic composition. ABSTRACT Meiobenthic metazoans occur worldwide and are a cornerstone of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we investigate the composition of meiobenthic communities along a transect in the Barents Sea and Nansen Basin and provide the first ...

Retracing the Response of Rangifer to Postglacial Climate Change in Arctic Islands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our study examines the role of sea ice and glacial retreat in shaping the biogeography of Rangifer tarandus across Arctic islands since the last glacial period. Using mitochondrial DNA analysis and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) modelling, we found that Arctic island dispersal occurred during the Holocene, with sea ice cover likely influencing ...

Past Colony Connectivity of a Declining Seabird Derived From Host–Parasite Genetic Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The black‐legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla, hereafter ‘kittiwake’, conservation status ‘Vulnerable’) is a long‐lived, highly motile and wide‐ranging seabird. Breeding kittiwake colonies are abundant across the northern hemisphere. The kittiwake's life history and the spatial scale of its breeding distribution make understanding colony ...

Identity Salience and Field‐Course Engagement: From Deficits to Assets

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
To address inequities in STEM, field courses should therefore be investigated to better understand students who are underrepresented in the disciplines—whether based on their nationality, socioeconomic background, race or ethnicity, their gender identity or sexuality, etc.
