Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic pollution in the Greenland Sea: Background levels and selective contamination of planktivorous diving seabirds.

TL;DR: The study stresses the great vulnerability of Arctic marine species to microplastic pollution in a warming Arctic, where sea-ice melting is expected to release vast volumes of trapped debris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foraging behavior of little auks in a heterogeneous environment
TL;DR: The results indicate that little auk breeding on Svalbard may be impacted by climate change because during years when the flow of Atlantic water increases, they may be forced to forage in areas with sub-optimal conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of productivity and phytoplankton in a warm (Kongsfjorden) and a cold (Hornsund) Spitsbergen fjord in mid-summer 2002
TL;DR: Compared the impacts of cold Arctic and warmer Atlantic waters on the pelagic ecosystems of Kongsfjorden and Hornsund, climate warming will likely increase the Atlantic water influence, and result in reduced production of diatoms and increase in flagellates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and spatial changes in the zooplankton community of Kongsfjorden, Svalbard
Wojciech Walkusz,Slawek Kwasniewski,Stig Falk-Petersen,Haakon Hop,Vigdis Tverberg,Piotr Wieczorek,Jan Marcin Węsławski +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, seasonal changes in the zooplankton composition of the glacially influenced Kongsfjorden, Svalbard (79°N, 12°E), and its adjacent shelf were studied in 2002.
Journal ArticleDOI
Change in the Beaufort Sea ecosystem: Diverging trends in body condition and/or production in five marine vertebrate species
Lois A. Harwood,Thomas G. Smith,John C. George,S.J. Sandstrom,Wojciech Walkusz,Wojciech Walkusz,George J. Divoky +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the body condition of five marine vertebrate predators in the Beaufort Sea, conducted independently during the past 2-4 decades, suggest each has been affected by biophysical changes in the marine ecosystem.
