• The importance of tidewater glaciers for marine mammals and seabirds in Svalbard, Norway (2014, background): “Satellite tracking of bearded seal pups through their fi rst year of life showed an initial dispersion from the areas where they are born and a subsequent exponentially decrease in monthly home range size as the pups get more and more sedentary with age (Kovacs et al., 2011a,b).”
• Status of the world's baleen whales (2016, background): “Bowhead whales, for example, do not have much possibility of northward range expansion in the face of warming ocean temperatures (Kovacs et al. 2011).”
• Forecasting the relative influence of environmental and anthropogenic stressors on polar bears (2016, background): “However, climate change is expected to alter host–pathogen associations, transmission dynamics, and pathogen resistance (Burek et al. 2008) and increase interactions among marine mammal species (Kovacs et al. 2011).”
• Population-specific home ranges and migration timing of Pacific Arctic beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) (2014, background): “Changes in prey abundance and composition will likely result from summer sea ice retreat, yet the impacts to foraging belugas are challenging to predict (Moore and Huntington 2008; Kovacs et al. 2011).”
• Marine mammal conservation: over the horizon (2021, background): “…fitness (e.g. effects on reproductive success, health, body condition and population vital rates; Simmonds & Isaac 2007, Burek et al. 2008, Kovacs et al. 2011, Edwards 2013, Ramp et al. 2015, Fuentes et al. 2016b, Silber et al. 2017, Hauser et al. 2018, Boyd et al. 2019, Hamilton et al.…”
• Change in the Beaufort Sea ecosystem: Diverging trends in body condition and/or production in five marine vertebrate species (2015, background): “…also been documented for other marine vertebrates in other ecosystems (Fauchald, 2009; Furness and Camphuysen, 1997; Montevecchi and Myers, 1996; Kowalczyk et al., 2014; Frank et al., 2011; Gavrilchuk et al., 2014). ea ecosystem: Diverging trends in body condition and/or production in five…”
