      Multiple environmental forcings, such as warming and changes in ocean circulation and nutrient supply, are affecting the base of Arctic marine ecosystems, with cascading effects on the entire food web through bottom-up ...
    • Multi-decadal trends in biomarkers in harp seal teeth from the North Atlantic reveal the influence of prey availability on seal trophic position 

      de la Vega, Camille; Kershaw, Joanna; Stenson, Garry B.; Frie, Anne Kirstine Højholt; Biuw, Martin; Haug, Tore; Norman, Louisa; Mahaffey, Claire; Smout, Sophie; Jeffreys, Rachel M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Arctic food webs are being impacted by borealisation and environmental change. To quantify the impact of these multiple forcings, it is crucial to accurately determine the temporal change in key ecosystem metrics, such as ...
    • Non‐linearity in interspecific interactions in response to climate change: cod and haddock as an example 

      Durant, Joel Marcel; Ono, Kotaro; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Langangen, Øystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Climate change has profound ecological effects, yet our understanding of how trophic interactions among species are affected by climate change is still patchy. The sympatric Atlantic haddock and cod are co‐occurring across ...
    • Novel feeding interactions amplify the impact of species redistribution on an Arctic food web 

      Pecuchet, Laurene; Blanchet, Marie-Anne; Frainer, Andre barbosa; Husson, Bérengère; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Kortsch, Susanne; Primicerio, Raul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Species are redistributing globally in response to climate warming, impacting ecosystem functions and services. In the Barents Sea, poleward expansion of boreal species and a decreased abundance of Arctic species are causing ...
