Search for Barents: Evaluation of possible burial sites on north Novaya Zemlya, Russia [PDF]
, 2002 Three cairns on northernmost Novaya Zemlya identified as possible rock-pile graves by Russian investigators in 1977 and 1988 were located and inspected for human remains. These cairns are in the area visited by Dutch seafarers between 17 and 22 June 1597,

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Humans are often perceived as predators by free‐living animals, and thus, even non‐consumptive human activities such as outdoor recreation may trigger behavioural and physiological responses, often with negative consequences on individual fitness and population persistence.

Rain more important than windchill for insulation loss in Svalbard reindeer fur
Rangifer, 2004 Heat transfer through dry and wet Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) summer and winter midback fur samples was studied in a wind tunnel.

Climate‐linked evolution and genetics in a warming Arctic
Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Knowledge of evolutionary patterns and genetic variation across a species' range is important for determining conservation and management strategies. The Arctic is the fastest‐warming ecosystem on Earth and has already reached temperature increases not expected in the rest of the world until the end of the century.

Polar Research, 2017 Snow and ice determine winter forage availability for Arctic herbivores. Winter precipitation is anticipated to increase, and icing following warm spells and rain-on-snow (ROS) are likely to become more frequent. While this may reduce herbivore survival,

Body composition and population regulation of Svalbard reindeer
Rangifer, 1984 <p>After severe winters, body weight, fat, and lean tissue of the high Arctic Svalbard reindeer may be reduced by 50, 90-97 and 30-40% respectively. Absence of harassment from predators, insects and man allows surviving animals to rapidly restore body reserves during the summer. That accumulation of large pre-winter body reserves is essential, as

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.Extreme rain‐on‐snow events forming basal‐ice can shape high Arctic plant communities as strongly as summer warming. Icing delays soil warming and early growth but compensatory responses follow, at the cost of reproduction. Summer warming offsets most icing impacts, enhancing growth and reversing phenological delays, though inflorescence remains ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.Findings indicate that the impact of heavy rainfall events on plant growth in the High Arctic is mediated by seasonal timing and local moisture regimes. Late summer rainfall can extend the growing season for plants experiencing end‐of‐season water‐limitation by delaying onset of senescence.

Arctic reindeer extend their visual range into the ultraviolet [PDF]
, 2011 The Arctic has extreme seasonal changes in light levels and is proportionally UV-rich because of scattering of the shorter wavelengths and their reflection from snow and ice.
