The remote and harsh environment that endemic Arctic whales (bowhead, narwhal and
beluga) reside in has so far limited their exposure to many human activities. However, Arctic …

Climate change is impacting marine ecosystems throughout the circumpolar Arctic, altering
seasonal habitats and the food bases for fishes, seabirds, and marine mammals. Arctic and …

Recent climate change has caused declines in ice coverage which have lengthened the
open water season in the Arctic and increased access to resources and shipping routes …

As Arctic sea ice retreats during the melt season, the upper ocean warms in response to
atmospheric heat fluxes. Overall, clouds reduce these fluxes in summer, but how the …

In a rapidly changing Arctic, multiple lines of evidence suggest that bowhead whale
migration is changing. To explore these changes further, we used passive acoustic data to …

Phenological mismatch has been highlighted as a reason why climate change is causing
declines of migratory populations. The likelihood of declines due to phenological mismatch …

Migratory species undertake seasonal, long-distance travel between feeding and breeding
grounds, and time their arrivals with high-quality resources. The Breeding Stock D …

Understanding the temporal and spatial distribution of bowhead whales is ecologically and
culturally important in the context of a rapidly changing climate. Long-term monitoring can …

Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) of the East Greenland-Svalbard-Barents Sea
(Spitsbergen) population are still considered endangered, but knowledge on spatio …

Climate change is causing Arctic and sub-Arctic systems to warm at twice the global average
rate. Warming temperatures are leading to unprecedented rates of sea ice decline, which is …
