Predicting cetacean abundance and distribution in a changing climate (2018, background): “Changes in abundance and shifts in distribution as a result of a warming climate have been documented for many marine spe‐ cies (Hare et al., 2016; Laidre et al., 2008; Nye, Link, Hare, & Overholtz, 2009; Pinsky, Worm, Fogarty, Sarmiento, & Levin, 2013; Poloczanska et al., 2016; Schumann, Gales,…”
Rapid ecosystem change and polar bear conservation (2013, background): “For example, sea ice-dependent seals that form the majority of polar bear diet are also being negatively affected by global warming (Laidre et al. 2008).”
Population-specific home ranges and migration timing of Pacific Arctic beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) (2014, background): “Arctic marine mammals have life histories, behaviors, and foraging strategies matched temporally to sea ice conditions that can make them particularly susceptible to broad-scale, sudden, and unidirectional changes (Laidre et al. 2008).”
Marine mammals as ecosystem sentinels (2008, background): “Efforts to quantify and model the sensitivity of Arctic marine mammals to habitat alteration associated with climate change (Laidre et al. 2008; Moore and Huntington 2008) provide a basis for assessment of marine mammals as ecosystem sentinels.”
Multiple Dimensions of Climate Change and Their Implications for Biodiversity (2014, background): “Both positive and negative effects of local warming have been reported on population dynamics in high-latitude areas (50, 51, 98).”
Predicting survival, reproduction and abundance of polar bears under climate change. (2010, neutral): “The vulnerability of polar bears to climate warming is clear (e.g., Stirling and Derocher, 1993; Derocher et al., 2004; Stirling and Parkinson, 2006; Laidre et al., 2008; Wiig et al., 2008), but few predictions exist to address how polar bear abundance might change numerically in response to a…”
Arctic sea ice in transformation: A review of recent observed changes and impacts on biology and human activity (2014, background): “The rapid changes in the Arctic sea ice cover are increasing the vulnerability of ice-dependent upper-trophic arctic animals [e.g., Tynan and DeMaster, 1998; Simmonds and Isaac, 2007; Laidre et al., 2008; Kovacs and Lydersen, 2008].”
Spatial and temporal patterns of problem polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba (2009, background): “Significant changes in sea ice conditions can affect species dependent upon it (Stirling et al. 1999; Stirling and Smith 2004; Derocher et al. 2004; Laidre et al. 2008).”
Climate change and cetaceans: concerns and recent developments (2009, background): “Laidre et al. (2008) highlight the threats coming from chemical pollution and hunting, noting historical overexploitation of bowheads and ongoing takes of belugas, narwhals, walrus and polar bears in West Greenland.”
Niche breadth, rarity and ecological characteristics within a regional flora spanning large environmental gradients (2012, background): “This has recently been shown for a large range of individual taxa including plants (Thuiller et al., 2004), birds (Jiguet et al., 2007; Devictor et al., 2008a), fish (Munday, 2004; Feary, 2007), mammals (Laidre et al., 2008) and bumblebees (Williams, 2005).”
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Canadian Arctic: Distribution, prey items, group sizes, and seasonality (2012, background): “Changing climatic conditions are expected to result in the redistribution of ice-adapted species (Tynan and Demaster 1997, Laidre et al. 2008), coupled with range expansions of temperate species (Moore and Huntington 2008, Higdon and Ferguson 2011).”
Change in the Beaufort Sea ecosystem: Diverging trends in body condition and/or production in five marine vertebrate species (2015, background): “…of the fast ice in spring, longer open water periods, enhanced upwelling of nutrients along the Beaufort slope, and increases in pelagic primary productivity followed by enhanced production up the food chain (Carmack and Wassmann, 2006; Wu et al., 2007; Barber et al., 2008; Lavoie et al., 2010).”
Seasonal home ranges and fidelity to breeding sites among ringed seals (2010, background): “That reduction in sea ice is expected to negatively impact ringed seal populations (Tynan and DeMaster 1997; Kelly 2001; Smith and Harwood 2001; Stirling and Smith 2004; Ferguson et al. 2005; Freitas et al. 2008b; Laidre et al. 2008; Schmo ¨lcke 2008; Cooper et al. 2009).”
Impacts of changing sea-ice conditions on Arctic marine mammals (2011, background): “…ice season means a longer period of fasting on sea ice, hide from predators or inclement weather within ice fields or that eat ice-associated fish and invertebrate prey or other ice-associated marine mammals (e.g., Barber and Iacozza 2004; Kovacs and Lydersen 2008; Laidre et al. 2008a).”
