“…1980 and favoured the spread of fish such as herring along the Murman coast. This culminated in 2006 when the influx of warm Atlantic water reached a maximum (Krasnov & Barrett 1997;Matishov et al 2012;Ingvaldsen 2016) after a period when herring was the commonest food item found in the colony at Kharlov (Melnikov 2006). Sightings at Kharlov of eight birds that had been ringed in northern Norwegian colonies, five (four ringed as chicks and one as an adult) from Hovsflesa (a colony in Lofoten that was found suddenly abandoned in 2001 [Barrett 2008]) and three ringed as chicks at Storstappen suggest that some of the increase was due to Norwegian birds taking advantage of this opportunity.…”

“…For example, cold periods occurred in the late 1960s, late 1970s and early 1980s, and another short period centered on 1998. During this latter period Kola Bay/Murmansk Fjord became frozen for only the fourth time during the twentieth century (Matishov et al 2012). Periods of several consecutive positive seasonal SAT anomalies are relatively scarce in the first part of the time series, with the early 1970s and late 1980s being exceptions.…”

“…extending for about 400 km north-south and 500 km east-west, and is situated between the Barents Sea to the north and the White Sea to the south and east. The climate is subject to the moderating influence of the ocean, being dominated by the advection of heat and moisture from the North Atlantic, and in particular the North Atlantic Current that flows along its northern shore (e.g., Filatov et al 2005;Matishov et al 2012). As a consequence, the regional climate comprises cool, rainy summers and relatively mild winters (Ilyashuk et al 2013).…”

“…While sea ice has been declining markedly across the Arctic Ocean as a whole, the decrease in the Barents Sea, north of the Kola Peninsula, has been especially marked (e.g., Matishov et al 2012), with predominantly negative anomalies during the twenty-first century. Moreover, the duration of the winter sea ice cover in the White Sea, south of the Kola Peninsula, has declined by about 10 days per decade since 1979 (Parkinson 2014).…”

Climate Change in the Kola Peninsula, Arctic Russia, during the Last 50 Years from Meteorological Observations

The authors provide a detailed climatology and evaluation of recent climate change in the Kola Peninsula, Arctic Russia, a region influenced by both the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. The analysis is based on 50 years of monthly surface air temperature (SAT), precipitation (PPN), and sea level pressure (SLP) data from 10 meteorological stations for 1966-2015. Regional mean annual SAT is ;08C: the moderating effect of the ocean is such that coastal (inland) stations have a positive (negative) value. Examined mean annual PPN totals rise from ;430 mm in the northeast of the region to ;600 mm in the west. Annual SAT in the Kola Peninsula has increased by 2.38 6 1.08C over the past 50 years. Seasonally, statistically significant warming has taken place in spring and fall, although the largest trend has occurred in winter. Although there has been no significant change in annual PPN, spring has become significantly wetter and fall drier. The former is associated with the only significant seasonal SLP trend (decrease). A positive winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index is generally associated with a warmer and wetter Kola Peninsula whereas a positive Siberian high (SH) index has the opposite impact. The relationship between both the NAO and SH and the SAT is broadly coherent across the region whereas their relationship with PPN varies markedly, although none of the relationships is temporally invariant. Reduced sea ice in the Barents and White Seas and associated circulation changes are likely to be the principal drivers behind the observed changes.

“…During warm years, Atlantic inflow is stronger and displaces capelin northwards, towards the Polar Front (Gjøsaeter 1998). 2011 was such a warm year (Matishov et al 2012) and the Atlantic inflow may have triggered a spatial shift in the distribution of capelin. Kittiwakes may have tracked capelin distribution far north but they ultimately had to switch to alternative prey, probably because capelin became less abundant, less accessible at the surface or too far from the colony.…”

T. Tveraa, and T. Boulinier. 2014. When things go wrong: intra-season dynamics of breeding failure in a seabird. Ecosphere 5(1):4. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/ES13-00233.1Abstract. During breeding, long-lived species face important time and energy constraints that can lead to breeding failure when food becomes scarce. Despite the potential implications of intra-season dynamics in breeding failure for individual behavior, carry-over effects, dispersal decisions and population dynamics, little information is currently available on these dynamics at fine temporal scales. Here, we monitored the foraging behavior and the proportion of successful black-legged kittiwake pairs from nest construction to chick fledging in a colony of the southern Barents Sea, to relate foraging effort to the dynamics of breeding failure over an entire breeding season, and to infer the environmental conditions leading to this failure. Specifically, we tracked kittiwakes with GPS and satellite tags during incubation and early chick-rearing to document nest attendance, foraging range, time budgets and daily energy expenditures (DEE). We also monitored diet changes over time. We predicted that breeding failure would follow a non-linear trend characterized by a break point after which breeding success would drop abruptly and would be related to a substantial increase in foraging effort. Kittiwakes showed contrasting foraging patterns between incubation and chick-rearing: they extended their foraging range from 20 km during incubation to more than 450 km during chick-rearing and switched diet. They also increased their DEE and readjusted their time budgets by increasing time spent at sea. These changes corresponded to a break point in breeding dynamics beyond which the proportion of successful pairs abruptly dropped. At the end of the season, less than 10% of kittiwake pairs raised chicks in the monitored plots. This integrative study confirms that breeding failure is a non-linear process characterized by a threshold beyond which individuals face an energetic trade-off and cannot simultaneously sustain high reproductive and selfmaintenance efforts. In this way, the occurrence of sudden environmental changes complicates our ability to predict population dynamics and poses conservation challenges.
