The Arctic is warming more rapidly than other region on the planet, and the northern Barents
Sea, including the Svalbard Archipelago, is experiencing the fastest temperature increases …

Tactics of resource use for reproduction are an important feature of life-history strategies. A
distinction is made between 'capital'breeders, which finance reproduction using stored …

Snow cover plays a major role in the climate, hydrological and ecological systems of the
Arctic and other regions through its influence on the surface energy balance (eg reflectivity) …

Climate warming is pronounced in the Arctic and migratory birds are expected to be among
the most affected species. We examined the effects of local and regional climatic variations …

The timing of breeding is a life-history trait that can greatly affect fitness, because successful
reproduction depends on the match between the food requirements for raising young and …

Snow, water, ice, and permafrost are showing evidence of substantial change in the Arctic,
with large variations among different geographical areas. As a result of these changes …

Climate change is most rapid in the Arctic, posing both benefits and challenges for migratory
herbivores. However, population‐dynamic responses to climate change are generally …

An uneven change in climate across the Northern Hemisphere might severely affect the
phenology of migrating animals, and especially long-distance migrating birds relying on …

Sensors, such as accelerometers, in tracking devices allow for detailed bio-logging to
understand animal behaviour, even in remote places where direct observation is difficult. To …

A full understanding of population dynamics depends not only on estimation of mechanistic
contributions of recruitment and survival, but also knowledge about the ecological processes …
