• The importance of tidewater glaciers for marine mammals and seabirds in Svalbard, Norway (2014, background): “…satellite tracking of various marine mammals in the Svalbard Archipelago have shown that these relatively restricted areas are used extensively by ringed seals (Freitas et al., 2008), white whales Delphinapterus leucas (Lydersen et al., 2001) and polar bears Ursus maritimus (Freitas et al., 2012).”
• Arctic sea ice in transformation: A review of recent observed changes and impacts on biology and human activity (2014, background): “Less land-fast ice in fjord regions is also reducing vital spring hunting habitats for females with young cubs [Freitas et al., 2012].”
