Assessing the Ecological Network of Svalbard Through Scaled Interaction Strength Data: Insights From a Century of Research

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this work, we integrate existing knowledge on interaction strengths into a conceptual model of the Svalbard Ecological Network. We also highlight current knowledge gaps and challenges in establishing a robust baseline of species interactions in the region.

Serosurvey of Selected Zoonotic Pathogens in Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus Phipps, 1774) in the Russian Arctic

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Antibodies to several pathogens were detected in the serum samples of nine polar bears (Ursus maritimus, Phipps, 1774) from areas of the Russian Arctic. Plasma was studied for antibodies to sixteen infectious and parasitic diseases using indirect Protein-

Genomics Insights Into High‐Latitude Adaptation of Tibetan Macaques

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
Tibetan macaques exhibit unique adaptations to cold, high‐latitude environments, including shortened tails and enhanced fat storage. Genomic analyses reveal a species‐specific TBX6 mutation linked to tail reduction and selection on lipid metabolism genes.

BRUCELLA SPECIES SURVEY IN POLAR BEARS (URSUS MARITIMUS) OF NORTHERN ALASKA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 2010
We report on the presence of specific antibodies to Brucella spp. and Yersinia enterocolitica in polar bears (Ursus maritimus) from northern Alaska (southern Beaufort Sea) during 2003-2006. Based on numerous known stressors (e.g., climate change and loss of sea ice habitat, contaminants), there is increased concern regarding the status of polar bears ...

Sources of Pre‐ and Postnatal Maternal Energy Allocation to Offspring in a Long‐Lived, Capital Breeder: The Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Few studies have simultaneously assessed multiple sources of variation in maternal energy allocation and how allocation might vary over a female's lifetime. We used 20 years of cross‐sectional and longitudinal data on 222 known‐age grey seals, which was collected as part of long‐term monitoring programme of grey seals that breed on Sable Island ...

The ecological and behavioral significance of short-term food caching in polar bears (Ursus maritimus)

open access: yesArctic Science, 2020
The paucity of observations of wild polar bears (Ursus maritimus) caching of food (including hoarding, i.e., burying and remaining with a kill for up to a few days) has led to the conclusion that such behavior does not occur or is negligible in this ...
