Haul-out behaviour of Arctic ringed seals (Pusa hispida): inter-annual patterns and impacts of current environmental change
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-27)
Hauling out onto a solid substrate is an integral part of most pinnipeds’ activity budgets. Ringed seals (<i>Pusa hispida</i>) are an Arctic species that hauls out on sea ice routinely throughout the year. In 2006, a sudden change in the sea-ice regime occurred in Svalbard (Norway). Amongst other changes, the amount of land-fast ice declined sharply. This study examined the intra- and inter-annual ...
Habitats and movement patterns of white whales Delphinapterus leucas in Svalbard, Norway in a changing climate
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-24)
Background: The Arctic is experiencing rapid reductions in sea ice and in some areas tidal glaciers are melting and retracting onto land. These changes are occurring at extremely rapid rates in the Northeast Atlantic Arctic. The aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of these environmental changes on space use by white whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Svalbard, Norway. Using a unique ...
