This study tracks the introduction and spread of HPAIVs in the High Arctic, identifying multiple genotypes and suggesting repeated introductions and local viral amplification.

The paper uses time-lagged causal inference to show climate and anthropogenic factors reduce seabird breeding success and population size, with delayed recruitment effects contributing to declines.

This study tracks snow petrel foraging ranges to better interpret stomach-oil deposits as paleoclimate proxies, finding that foraging areas vary seasonally and by breeding stage.

This study uses whole genome analyses of Atlantic puffins to reveal complex population structure, identifying four genetically distinct clusters and a secondary contact zone, challenging current taxonomy.
