Resolving the Impact of Changing Arctic Precipitation on Svalbard Ice Mass Balance

The Arctic is warming at almost four times the mean global rate (Rantanen et al., 2022) and is becoming increasingly wetter: a trend that is predicted to continue as the Arctic Ocean becomes Atlantified, with rapid decline in sea-ice which is now at an all-time minimum (Bailey et al., 2021). Terr...

Movescapes, connectivity hotspots and eco-evolutionary dynamics: protecting the functional role of predatory coastal fishes

Store rovfisk, slik som torsk og lyr, kan spille en viktig rolle i økosystemene langs kysten og har også en stor samfunnsverdi. Ved at de befinner seg nær toppen av næringsnettet kan de ha en kontrollerende effekt på mange andre arter, og på den måten påvirke hvordan hele økosystemet fungerer. Ro...
