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.

Use of stable isotopes to reveal trophic relationships and transmission of a food-borne pathogen

open access: yesScientific Reports
Predators in food webs are valuable sentinel species for zoonotic and multi-host pathogens such as Toxoplasma gondii. This protozoan parasite is ubiquitous in warm-blooded vertebrates, and can have serious adverse effects in immunocompromised hosts and ...

A Breath of Fresh Air: A Novel Passive Airborne eDNA Approach for Scalable Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study introduces the Nutshell eDNA sampler, an inexpensive, reusable passive device for collecting environmental DNA from air to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. Tested at the Rotterdam Zoo, it detected numerous species and complimented active samplers in identifying zoo animals, continuing to accumulate DNA over longer sampling times and ...

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

open access: yesMarine 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.

Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High‐Arctic Shorebirds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We assessed the impact of arctic foxes' predation pressure on two sympatric sandpiper species. Fox activity influenced the breeding ecology of both sandpipers, with earlier nest initiations and lower nest survival rates in areas of high fox activity. ABSTRACT Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental ...

A Study on the Predilection Sites of Trichinella spiralis Muscle Larvae in Experimentally Infected Foxes (Alopex lagopus, Vulpes vulpes) [PDF]

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1994
Studies were carried out on the predilection sites of Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae in experimentally infected arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) and silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes) reared in cages. The highest number of larvae per gram tissue was found in the muscles of the legs, eyes, diaphragm, and tongue.
