What did you have for breakfast? The question can reveal so much about who you are and where you live.

Researchers studying the #marine food web in Western Hudson Bay are taking a hands-on approach to answering it:

Thanks to @NHM_Science, @SAMSoceannews and @CBLOutreach for supporting this effort and to the many collaborators @DJYurkowski @LosetoLisa @NEHmarine @AmirauxR and others!

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

@seawegs & Brown et al. led a collaborative and comprehensive synthesis that shows widespread transfer of #SeaIce algal carbon throughout the #Arctic marine food web supporting organisms throughout the dark winter months

New paper in @BES_Move_SIG!

We show that counter to theory, seals appeared to forage more in areas with relatively lower prey diversity and biomass, potentially due to reduce foraging efficiency 🐟
a cautionary tale to validate your models!

Say hi to our journal's new Early Career Editor @AmirauxR at the session he is chairing on biomarkers in Arctic marine ecosystems with @AuLimoges and co-ECR editor @DJYurkowski at 8:30 am (in room 200A) today!

[William Halliday @wdhalliday]

Announcing our latest paper, which identifies potential hotspots of vessel strike risk for bowhead whales in the North American Arctic. Just published #OpenAccess in Biological Conservation. @WCS_Canada @UVicSEOS @DFO_Science https://t.co/jevwO890Cv

[NWMB-Nunavut @NWMBmedia]

A recent study that marked ringed seals near Resolute Bay and Pond Inlet recorded that they swam over 3,000 km out from Lancaster Sound into Baffin Bay and Davis Strait. The longest dive recorded was 558 m!
