Prediction of the distribution of Arctic-nesting pink-footed geese under a warmer climate scenario
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors built species distribution models for Svalbard nesting pink-footed geese to relate their occurrence to environmental and climatic variables, and used the models to predict their distribution under a warmer climate scenario.

TL;DR: Kongsfjorden is a glacial fjord in the Arctic (Svalbard) that is influenced by both Atlantic and Arctic water masses and harbours a mixture of boreal and Arctic flora and fauna as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diet of high‐arctic seabirds in coastal and ice‐covered, pelagic areas near the Svalbard archipelago
TL;DR: In this article, food samples from six High-Arctic seabird species were collected during spring and summer seasons between 1982 and 1990 in the Svalbard region, and the results showed that most polar cod were one-or two-year olds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daily energy expenditure and energy utilization of free-ranging Black-legged Kittiwakes
TL;DR: The rate of food consumption by an adult kittiwake, calculated on the basis of the chemical composition and digestibility of capelin (Mallotus villosus, the most important dietary item at Hopen Island) was 315 g of fresh matter per bird every other day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of incubation and nest‐site attentiveness in relation to organochlorine (PCB) contamination in glaucous gulls
TL;DR: Increased absence from the nest site in individual glaucous gulls with high blood concentrations of OC suggests effects on reproductive behaviour, and it is speculated that endocrine disruption or neurological effects might be involved, leading to increased energetic costs during incubation and reduced reproductive output.
