Stochastic Processes Dominate in the Water Mass–Based Segregation of Diazotrophs in a High Arctic Fjord (Svalbard)
Nitrogen-fixing or diazotrophic microbes fix atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) to ammonia (NH 3 + ) using nitrogenase enzyme and play a crucial role in...

Migration timing and marine space use of an anadromous Arctic fish (Arctic Char, Salvelinus alpinus) revealed by local spatial statistics and network analysis
BackgroundThe ice-free season (typically late-June to early-October) is crucial for anadromous species of fish in the Arctic, including Arctic Char (

Different selection criteria may relax competition for denning sites between expanding red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and endemic Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) on the low-Arctic tundra
Climate warming is favoring the expansion of non-native species onto the Arctic tundra, where they may compete over resources with native species. In...
