Aggregations of foraging black guillemots (Cepphus grylle) at a sea-ice edge in front of a tidewater glacier
Varpe, Øystein; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Seabirds in cold biomes sometimes aggregate near glacier fronts and at sea-ice edges to forage. In this note, we report on large aggregations of black guillemots (Cepphus grylle) at the edge of sea ice in front of the ... -
Black-legged kittiwakes as messengers of Atlantification in the Arctic
Vihtakari, Mikko; Welcker, Jorg; Moe, Børge; Chastel, Olivier; Tartu, Sabrina; Hop, Haakon; Bech, Claus; Descamps, Sébastien; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate warming is rapidly altering marine ecosystems towards a more temperate state on the European side of the Arctic. However, this “Atlantification” has rarely been confirmed, as long-term datasets on Arctic marine ... -

In recent years, the decline of many Arctic seabird populations has raised concerns ... -

Endocrine and Fitness Correlates of Long-Chain Perfluorinated Carboxylates Exposure in Arctic Breeding Black-Legged Kittiwakes
Tartu, Sabrina; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Blévin, Pierre; Ellis, Hugh; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Herzke, Dorte; Chastel, Olivier (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Increasing levels of poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) have recently been described in Arctic biota. These emerging substances are of concern given their resistance to degradation and metabolization. Some ... -

K.; Magnusdottir, Ellen; Furness, Robert W.; Strøm, Hallvard; Petersen, Aevar; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Bustnes, Jan Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Environmental conditions encountered by migratory seabirds in their wintering areas can shape their fitness. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms remain largely unknown as birds are relatively inaccessible ... -
Integument colouration in relation to persistent organic pollutants and body condition in arctic breeding black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla)
Blévin, Pierre; Tartu, Sabrina; Angelier, Frédéric; Leclaire, Sarah; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Moe, Børge; Herzke, Dorte; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Chastel, Olivier (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Vertebrates cannot synthetize carotenoids de novo but have to acquire themthrough their diet. In birds, carotenoids are responsible for the yellow to red colouration of many secondary sexual traits. They are also involved ... -
Mercury exposure, stress and prolactin secretion in an Arctic seabird: an experimental study
