• Aggregations of foraging black guillemots (Cepphus grylle) at a sea-ice edge in front of a tidewater glacier 

      Varpe, Øystein; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Seabirds in cold biomes sometimes aggregate near glacier fronts and at sea-ice edges to forage. In this note, we report on large aggregations of black guillemots (Cepphus grylle) at the edge of sea ice in front of the ...
    • Energy content of krill and amphipods in the Barents Sea from summer to winter: variation across species and size 

      Nowicki, Robynne; Borgå, Katrine; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Varpe, Øystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Arctic zooplankton develop large energy reserves, as an adaptation to strong seasonality, making them valuable prey items. We quantified the energy content (kJ g−1 dry weight) of abundant krill (arcto-boreal, Thysanoessa ...
    • Monitoring litter and microplastics in Arctic mammals and bird 

      Lusher, Amy; Provencher, Jennifer F.; Baak, Julia E.; Hamilton, Bonnie M.; Vorkamp, Katrin; Hallanger, Ingeborg G.; Pijogge, Liz; Liboiron, Max; Bourdages, Madelaine; Hammer, Sjúrður; Gavrilo, Maria; Vermaire, Jesse; Linnebjerg, Jannie F.; Mallory, Mark L.; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Plastic pollution has been reported to affect Arctic mammals and birds. There are strengths and limitations to monitoring litter and microplastics using Arctic mammals and birds. One strength is the direct use of these ...
    • Moving forward in microplastic research: A Norwegian perspective 

      Lusher, Amy; Hurley, Rachel; Arp, Hans Peter H; Booth, Andy; Bråte, Inger Lise Nerland; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Gomiero, Alessio; Gomes, Tania; Grøsvik, Bjørn Einar; Green, Norman; Haave, Marte; Hallanger, Ingeborg G.; Halsband, Claudia; Herzke, Dorte; Joner, Erik J; Kögel, Tanja; Rakkestad, Kirsten; Ranneklev, Sissel Brit; Wagner, Martin; Olsen, Marianne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Given the increasing attention on the occurrence of microplastics in the environment, and the potential envi-ronmental threats they pose, there is a need for researchers to move quickly from basic understanding to applied ...
    • Nutrient fuxes from an Arctic seabird colony to the adjacent coastal marine ecosystem 

      Finne, Eirik Aasmo; Varpe, Øystein; Durant, Joël; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Poste, Amanda (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Seabirds are important vectors for nutrient transfer across ecosystem boundaries. In this seasonal study, we evaluate the impact of an Arctic colony (Alkhornet, Svalbard) of Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) and ...
