25 years, 4 colonies across the Arctic: satellite snowmelt data & nest monitoring show that earlier snowmelt advances hatching in little auks — but fitness consequences are mixed. Will earlier breeding help in future? 📝 paper: buff.ly/G49YbQW 🎙️ podcast: buff.ly/LPMOT9w 🧊 blog: buff.ly/lMPDKkD

Thrilled to share this! None of it would have been possible without the persistence and passion of so many researchers going back to the Arctic. This is exactly why we keep going — even when the results feel far away 🐦‍⬛❄️ More thanks in the comments 🙏

UArctic Congress last week and contributed with talk; Ecological consequences of less sea-ice and more light. Collaboration with @tomlangbehn.bsky.social & Trond Kristiansen. @bjerknes.uib.no A few main points follow:

Leaving the Faroe Islands after an amazing week of UArctic Congress and magic impressions from land, sea, and society. Ocean connectivity was the main conference topic.

Beneath the ice, fish have been shielded by the darkness. What happens now that the ice is melting?

An advantage for one species may be a disadvantage for another.

Less ice – more light. What will life be like in a bright, new Arctic? Earlier spring blooms mean less food in summer, when fish need it most. Polar cod in the Barents Sea are particularly vulnerable. 🧪 🌊 🦑 @oysteinvarpe.bsky.social @unibergen.bsky.social bjerknes.uib.no/en/news/en-l...

Mindre is – mer lys. Hvordan blir livet i et nytt og lysere Arktis? Tidligere algeoppblomstring betyr mindre mat om sommeren, når fisken trenger det mest. Polartorsken i Barentshavet er spesielt utsatt. @oysteinvarpe.bsky.social @bjerknes.uib.no @unibergen.bsky.social bjerknes.uib.no/aktuelt/en-l...

www.nrk.no/vestland/det... Fargerik økologi og biologi på Nordvestlandet. Har sett slike blodraude dammar sjølv, bare litt lenger sør, på øya Frøya i Bremanger. Rock pool Haematococcus algae

Dette er årsaka til at gåtefullt tjern i Stad skiftar farge

Det går frå sitrongult, grønt til blodraudt. No har forskarar funne svaret på kvifor. – Ein litt morosam kuriositet.

Same procedure as every autumn term, kicking it of with field course at #Espegrend, our UiB field station. BIO102 Basic Ecology and Field Methods. Keen students!

Visited Runde again today. The Northern Gannets, with their long breeding season, are still around. Decent number of recruits as far as I could judge through the binoculars. Morus bassanus, havsule.

One year jubilee for this rocky shore experiment. ‪@catiamonteiro.bsky.social‬‬ and @biointeractproj.bsky.social‬ visiting the Bergen site. Treated with a generous low tide. Ascophyllum removal and responses across latitudes. #Seasonality #Espegrend
