Climate change and phenological responses of two seabird species breeding in the high-Arctic (2009, background): “Furthermore, sea ice extent has decreased linearly by 3 to 9% per decade in the Arctic Ocean (Serreze et al. 2007), with substantial effects on polar marine ecosystems (Gaston et al. 2003, Moline et al. 2008).”
Changes in Canadian seabird populations and ecology since 1970 in relation to changes in oceanography and food webs (2009, background): “For some species, food delivered can be observed and accurately recorded from a distance, without disturbance to the birds (e.g., murres, Gaston et al. 2003; Razorbill Alca torda, Chapdelaine and Brousseau 1996; Atlantic Puffin, terns, Diamond and Devlin 2003; Clarke et al. 2008).”
Central-Place Foraging in an Arctic Seabird Provides Evidence for Storer-Ashmole's Halo (2009, methodology): “The study was conducted at the west colony on Coats Island (62°57′N, 82°00′W), Nunavut, Canada (Gaston et al. 2003, 2005), during 1993–2008.”
The toxicology of climate change: environmental contaminants in a warming world. (2009, background): “…by altering exposure pathways and increasing susceptibility of some populations, especially those already under stress (AMAP, 2004; Breivik et al., 2004; Brook and Richardson, 2002; Gaston et al., 2003; Gilbertson et al., 2003;Macdonald et al., 2005;Olafsdottir et al.,1998; Sagerup et al., 2000).”
Pelagic fish and zooplankton species assemblages in relation to water mass characteristics in the northern Bering and southeast Chukchi seas (2012, background): “A better understanding of these small pelagic fishes, however, is important because of their trophic link to many piscivorous predators, such as seabirds (Springer et al. 1984; Piatt et al. 1989; Gaston et al. 2003) and marine mammals (Seaman et al.”
Seabird foraging behaviour indicates prey type (2008, background): “Coats Island is known to have many adult ‘specialist’ murres that provision their chicks year after year with the same rare prey items.”
Seasonal and annual movement patterns of polar bears on the sea ice of Hudson Bay (2006, unknown): “There is also evidence that fish community composition has changed, with a decrease in a primary prey species for seals, the Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida (Lepechin, 1774); Gaston et al. 2003 ).”
POLAR BEAR DIETS AND ARCTIC MARINE FOOD WEBS: INSIGHTS FROM FATTY ACID ANALYSIS (2008, background): “…patterns, and increasing temperatures and declining seaice coverage in many parts of the Arctic (e.g., Callaghan and Jonasson 1995, Parkinson 2000, Comiso 2002, 2006) are having significant, yet incompletely understood effects on marine ecosystems (e.g., Gaston et al. 2003, Stirling et al. 2008).”
Changes in Seasonal Events, Peak Food Availability, and Consequent Breeding Adjustment in a Marine Bird: A Case of Progressive Mismatching (2009, background): “The pagophilic arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), which dominated nestlings’ diet in the early years of the study, has been replaced by the low arctic capelin (Mallotus villosus) (Gaston et al. 2003).”
From lavage to lipids: Estimating diets of seabirds (2012, unknown): “For example, Gaston et al. (2003) observed the fish carried back to chicks by thick-billed murres Uria lomvia from 1980 to 2002.”
