Cold winter extremes in northern continents linked to Arctic sea ice loss (2013, background): “According to consistent satellite observations since 1979, Arctic SIE has declined in every season (Serreze et al 2007), mostly rapidly during summer when the perennial ice extent has decreased by ∼12% per decade (Comiso 2012).”
The pan-Arctic biodiversity of marine pelagic and sea-ice unicellular eukaryotes: a first-attempt assessment (2011, background): “Polar regions, and more specifically the Arctic, have received a growing interest over the past decades due to the threatening impact of global warming (e.g., Johannessen et al. 1999; Moritz et al. 2002; Serreze et al. 2007; Thomas and Dieckmann 2010).”
The Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS): Overview and experimental design (2013, background): “…2006; Graversen et al., 2008; Overland et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2008; Kapsch et al., 2013), radiative forcing due to changes in greenhouse gases (Serreze et al., 2007; Graversen and Wang., 2009), inflow of warm ocean water (e.g., Shimada, 2006; Polyakov et al., 2007) or a mixture of these.”
Comparison of free-living, suspended particle, and aggregate-associated bacterial and archaeal communities in the Laptev Sea (2009, background): “Climate warming brings the potential for altered cycling and export of POM on Arctic shelves through permanent reductions in ice cover, increases in riverine discharge (Holland et al. 2007, Serreze et al. 2007), and incursions of warm Atlantic water, as in the Laptev Sea (Dmitrenko et al. 2008).”
The terrestrial and freshwater invertebrate biodiversity of the archipelagoes of the Barents Sea; Svalbard, Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya (2014, background): “Svalbard, and even Novaya Zemlya, are subject to warm North Atlantic influences from the west, and cold Arctic Ocean influences from the east, as well as lying at the boundary of the region experiencing large scale changes in winter and multi-year Arctic sea ice extent (Serreze et al., 2007).”
Change in the Beaufort Sea ecosystem: Diverging trends in body condition and/or production in five marine vertebrate species (2015, background): “…can be used to inform the design of future studies to interpret factors influencing ecosystem shifts, specifically those which are linked to changing sea ice and climate (Tynan and DeMaster, 1997; Melling et al., 2005; Serreze et al., 2007; Comiso et al., 2008; Walsh, 2008; Tivy et al., 2011).”
Biodiversity and phylogeography of Arctic marine fauna: insights from molecular tools (2011, background): “The Arctic Ocean is experiencing rapid environmental change (e.g., Serreze et al. 2007; Kwok et al. 2009; Perovich et al. 2009), stimulating significant interest in monitoring effects on marine ecosystems.”
Protist entrapment in newly formed sea ice in the Coastal Arctic Ocean (2008, neutral): “5× 10 km in March (Parkinson et al., 1999; Comiso, 2003; Serreze et al., 2007; Comiso et al., 2008).”
Seasonal home ranges and fidelity to breeding sites among ringed seals (2010, background): “In recent decades, however, that substrate has been decreasing (Overland and Wang 2007; Serreze et al. 2007; Comiso et al. 2008), and summer ice may disappear completely within the next 50 years.”
Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry (2010, background): “…in ocean pH, strengthening in the westerly winds (Meehl et al., 2007), a decrease in summer sea ice in the high latitudes (Curran et al., 2003; Serreze et al., 2007), an increase in salinity in low-latitude waters, an increase in the magnitude and intensity of certain types of storms in some…”
Predicting survival, reproduction and abundance of polar bears under climate change. (2010, positive): “, 2007), and declines are projected to accelerate (Holland et al., 2006; Serreze et al., 2007).”
The GFDL CM3 Coupled Climate Model: Characteristics of the Ocean and Sea Ice Simulations (2011, background): “Arctic sea ice coverage has been the focus of much research in recent years, given the potential for an ice-free period to appear in the Arctic within the next few decades (Serreze et al. 2007).”
Effects of sea ice extent and food availability on spatial and temporal distribution of polar bears during the fall open-water period in the Southern Beaufort Sea (2008, background): “…are increasingly needed in the Arctic where rapid changes in pack and land-fast ice associated with climate change (Dumas et al. 2006; Holland et al. 2006; Lemke et al. 2007) are expected to result in broad ecosystem-level impacts (Gitay et al. 2002; ACIA 2005; Parmesan 2006; Serreze et al. 2007).”
Elevated levels of ingested plastic in a high Arctic seabird, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) (2015, background): “Floating plastic debris may act as a transport vector to the Arctic for both pollutants (Zarfl and Matthies 2010) and invasive species (Barnes 2002)—both may act as important stressors with threats to biodiversity, particularly under climate warming scenarios (Serreze et al. 2007).”
