Investigating mechanisms behind thermoregulation in Svalbard reindeer, RiS ID 12119

The aim of this study is to investigate cellular mechanisms underlying Svalbard reindeer's ability to lower their body temperature in winter to save energy. To achieve this, we will collect muscle and heart tissue from culled reindeer in October as part of a larger field campaign. These samples w...

Telomere dynamics and migration patterns in the Arctic skua: A longitudinal study. RiS ID 10452

This project aims to measure the rates of telomere loss in Arctic skuas (Stercorarius parasiticus) in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard and relate the changes to individual migration patterns. Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of linear chromosomes, whose shortening is accelerated by physiological s...
