Summer feeding strategy of the little auk (Alle alle) from Bjørnøya, Barents Sea
TLDR
Summer food of the little auks nesting on Bjornoya consisted of large copepods, decapod larvae and pelagic amphipods, and prey size range appears to be optimal with regard to the balance between mean individual mass and density of items in the surface layers of the sea.

Influence of allochtonous nutrients delivered by colonial seabirds on soil collembolan communities on Spitsbergen
TLDR
Community composition and abundance of springtails showed no evidence of being influenced of seabird diet, with no differences apparent between communities found in ornithogenic tundra developing in the vicinity of planktivorous and piscivorous seabIRD colonies, providing confirmation of the influence of marine nutrient input by seabirds on soil microfaunal communities.

Climate change and the increasing impact of polar bears on bird populations
The Arctic is becoming warmer at a high rate, and contractions in the extent of sea ice are currently changing the habitats of marine top-predators dependent on ice. Polar bears (Ursus maritimus)…

Guano deposition and nutrient enrichment in the vicinity of planktivorous and piscivorous seabird colonies in Spitsbergen
TLDR
Climate-induced changes in populations of planktivorous and piscivorous seabirds are expected in the study region and may have substantial consequential effects on Arctic terrestrial ecosystems.

Climate change and phenological responses of two seabird species breeding in the high-Arctic
TLDR
This study identifies some spring environ- mental factors important for regulating the timing of breeding in the high-Arctic, most likely through effects on snow cover limiting access to nest sites and the development of the polar marine food web.

Foraging closer to the colony leads to faster growth in little auks
TLDR
Investigation of foraging trips of a small planktivorous alcid, the little auk Alle alle, using miniature GPS loggers finds chicks in the Arctic environment achieved both peak body mass and fledging age earlier, suggesting faster chick growth than in the Atlantic environment.
