TL;DR: Adjustment of size using a regression technique or allometric adjustment to a standard size was preferred because these allowed for the complete removal of size variation and adverse effects were minimal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the changes in sea ice are happening faster than models have projected and substantial uncertainties in the exact timing and high interannual variability will remain as sea ice decreases.

TL;DR: The arctic freshwater-terrestrial system will warm more rapidly than the global average, particularly during the autumn and winter season, and changes in ice and water flow/levels will lead to regime-specific increases and decreases in habitat availability/quality across the circumpolar Arctic.

TL;DR: Climate change is projected to cause significant alterations to aquatic biogeochemical processes, aquatic food web structure, dynamics and biodiversity, primary and secondary production, and, affect the range, distribution and habitat quality/quantity of aquatic mammals and waterfowl.
