Elevated levels of ingested plastic in a high Arctic seabird, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) (2015, background): “years to come (Smith and Stephenson 2013) and therefore potential increases in plastic pollution.”
Metabarcoding reveals strong spatial structure and temporal turnover of zooplankton communities among marine and freshwater ports (2016, background): “Continued thawing of the Arctic icepack is projected to increase ship traffic (Smith & Stephenson, 2013), raising concerns about potential range expansions and non-indigenous species invasions between oceans (Chan et al., 2015).”
Changing state of Arctic sea ice across all seasons (2018, background): “Regarding shipping, Smith and Stephenson (2013) find that the Northern Sea Route becomes navigable for both the RCP4.”
Forecasting the relative influence of environmental and anthropogenic stressors on polar bears (2016, background): “…to increasing levels of human activities such as extraction of oil and gas, and trans- Arctic shipping (Amstrup et al. 2006, Gautier et al. 2009, Smith and Stephenson 2013, Stephenson et al. 2013) and tourism, as well as industrial chemicals and effluents (Amstrup et al. 1989, Derocher and…”
Early detection of aquatic invaders using metabarcoding reveals a high number of non‐indigenous species in Canadian ports (2016, background): “Decreasing Arctic sea ice generates new opportunities for trans-Arctic shipping routes, and coupled with the changing climate, leaves the region increasingly vulnerable to invasion by NIS (Vermeij & Roopnarine, 2008; Smith & Stephenson, 2013; Ware et al., 2014).”
