Abstract The northern Bering and Chukchi Seas are areas in the Pacific Arctic characterized
by high northward advection of Pacific Ocean water, with seasonal variability in sea ice …

We compare and contrast the ecological impacts of atmospheric and oceanic circulation
patterns on polar and sub-polar marine ecosystems. Circulation patterns differ strikingly …

We used stomach content and stable δ 13 C and δ 15 N isotope analyses to investigate
male and female snow crab diets over a range of body sizes (30–130 mm carapace width) in …

Climate warming in seasonally ice‐covered seas is expected to reduce the extent and
duration of annual sea ice. Resulting changes in sea ice related blooms of ice algae or …

Marine birds and mammals can act as sentinels to shifts in ocean ecosystems, due to their (i)
reliance on finding aggregated prey for efficient foraging,(ii) need to respond to biophysical …

Migratory species can exploit many habitats over vast geographic areas and adopt various
patterns of space and habitat use throughout their annual cycle. In nomadic species …

We used dynamic factor analysis (DFA) to track underlying trends in the abundance (number
m− 2) and biomass (g C m− 2) of a common bivalve, Macoma calcarea, at eleven stations in …

The effectiveness of marine conservation areas are influenced by the structure of the food
webs they encompass, including the population dynamics of potentially important forage …

The Bering Sea experiences a seasonal sea ice cover, which is important to the biophysical
environment found there. A pool of cold bottom water (< 2° C) is formed on the shelf each …

The Pacific walrus is a large benthivore with an annual range extending across the
continental shelves of the Bering and Chukchi Seas. We used a discrete choice model to …
