While the sentinel nature of freshwater systems is now well recognized, widespread
integration of freshwater processes and patterns into our understanding of broader climate …

Long‐term records of benthic macroinvertebrates in high‐latitude streams are essential for
understanding climatic changes, including extreme events (eg floods). Data extending over …

Arctic terrestrial invertebrate biodiversity is generally poorly known, but the archipelago of
Svalbard has one of the most up-to-date inventories of its terrestrial and freshwater faunas of …

Climate change is predicted to have dramatic effects on Arctic freshwater ecosystems
through changes to the abiotic template that are expected to influence biodiversity. Changes …

Cyanobacterial mats are commonly reported as hotspots of microbial diversity across polar
environments. These thick, multilayered microbial communities provide a refuge from …

An increase in river water temperatures is being detected worldwide, with some predictions
of an up to 4° C rise by 2050. Such stream temperature increase is likely to affect aquatic …

Climate warming and subsequent landscape transformations result in rapid ecological
change in Arctic freshwaters. Here we provide a synthesis of the diversity of benthic diatoms …

Shallow littoral areas in lakes are productive and highly diverse ecotonal zones, providing
habitats for both invertebrate and vertebrate species. We developed a Bayesian modeling …

Arctic charr is one of the fish species most sensitive to climate change but studies on their
freshwater habitat preferences are limited, especially in the fluvial environment. Machine …

Water temperature is recognized as an important driver of aquatic ecosystems and is of
increasing interest because of global warming. However, to date, no studies have …
