    • Ice-algal carbon supports harp and ringed seal diets in the European Arctic: evidence from fatty acid and stable isotope markers 

      Kunisch, Erin; Graeve, Martin; Gradinger, Rolf; Haug, Tore; Kovacs, Kit M.; Lydersen, Christian; Varpe, Øystein Heggernes; Bluhm, Bodil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-30)
      Sea-ice declines in the European Arctic have led to substantial changes in marine food webs. To better understand the biological implications of these changes, we quantified the contributions of ice-associated and pelagic carbon sources to the diets of Arctic harp and ringed seals using compound-specific stable isotope ratios of fatty acids in specific primary producer biomarkers derived from sea-ice ...
