    • Contrasting consequences of climate change for migratory geese: Predation, density dependence and carryover effects offset benefits of high‐arctic warming 

      Layton-Matthews, Kate; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Grøtan, Vidar; Fuglei, Eva; Loonen, Maarten J.J.E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Climate change is most rapid in the Arctic, posing both benefits and challenges for migratory herbivores. However, population‐dynamic responses to climate change are generally difficult to predict, due to concurrent changes ...
    • Contributions from terrestrial and marine resources stabilize predator populations in a rapidly changing climate 

      Nater, Chloe Rebecca; Eide, Nina Elisabeth; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Yoccoz, Nigel; Fuglei, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Climate change has different and sometimes divergent effects on terrestrial and marine food webs, and in coastal ecosystems, these effects are tightly interlinked. Responses of opportunistic coastal predators and scavengers ...
    • Don't go chasing the ghosts of the past: habitat selection and site fidelity during calving in an Arctic ungulate 

      Paulsen, Ingrid M.; Soininen, Eeva M; Ravolainen, Virve; Loe, Leif Egil; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Irvine, Justin R; Stien, Audun; Ropstad, Erik; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Fuglei, Eva; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Predator avoidance and food availability are both factors known to influence habitat selection and site fidelity around calving in caribou and reindeer. Here, we assess habitat selection and site fidelity during the calving ...
    • Exposure to Persistent Organic Pollutants Reduces Testosterone Concentrations and Affects Sperm Viability and Morphology during the Mating Peak Period in a Controlled Experiment on Farmed Arctic Foxes (Vulpes lagopus) 

      Sonne, Christian; Torjesen, Peter A; Fuglei, Eva; Muir, Derek C. G.; Jenssen, Bjørn Munro; Jørgensen, Even Hjalmar; Dietz, Rune; Ahlstrøm, Øystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We investigated testosterone production and semen parameters in farmed Arctic foxes by dietary exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) for 22 months. Eight male foxes were given a diet of POP-contaminated minke ...
    • Extreme events, trophic chain reactions, and shifts in phenotypic selection 

      Layton-Matthews, Kate; Vriend, Stefan J.G.; Grøtan, Vidar; Loonen, Maarten J. J. E.; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Fuglei, Eva; Hansen, Brage Bremset (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Demographic consequences of rapid environmental change and extreme climatic events (ECEs) can cascade across trophic levels with evolutionary implications that have rarely been explored. Here, we show how an ECE in high ...
    • Five decades of terrestrial and freshwater research at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard 

      Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Convey, P.; Newsham, Kevin K.; Mosbacher, Jesper Bruun; Fuglei, Eva; Ravolainen, Virve; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Jensen, Thomas Correll; Augusti, A.; Biersma, Elisabeth Mackteld; Cooper, Elisabeth J.; Coulson, S.J.; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Gallet, Jean-Charles; Karsten, U.; Kristiansen, Silje Marie; Svenning, Mette Marianne; Tveit, Alexander; Uchida, M.; Baneschi, I.; Calizza, E.; Cannone, N.; de Goede, E.M.; Doveri, M.; Elster, J.; Giamberini, M.S.; Hayashi, K.; Lang, Simone; Lee, Y.K.; Nakatsubo, T.; Pasquali, V.; Paulsen, I.M.G.; Pedersen, Christina Alsvik; Peng, F.; Provenzale, A.; Pushkareva, E.; Sandström, C.A.M.; Sklet, Vera; Stach, A.; Tojo, M.; Tytgat, B.; Tømmervik, Hans; Velazquez, D.; Verleyen, E.; Welker, J.M.; Yao, Y.-F.; Loonen, M.J.J.E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      For more than five decades, research has been conducted at Ny-Ålesund, in Svalbard, Norway, to understand the structure and functioning of High- Arctic ecosystems and the profound impacts on them of environmental change. ...
    • Mandibular shape in farmed Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) exposed to persistent organic pollutants
