Land-locked populations of Arctic charr in four lakes on Northern Ellesmere Island (80掳 N) were found to consist of two distinct sizes: 'dwarf' and 'normal' charr. Both groups attained sexual maturity but differed in appearance and habitat. The smaller fish, occupying the more marginal ...

differences between populations. The carbon isotope ratios were higher at the easternmost site (Baffin Island), revealing differences in the isotope content of the food. The mtDNA sequences showed no significant differentiation between sites and no pattern of isolation-by-distance was found. Based on...
These counts indicate fluctuations within 卤 50% of the mean, as in Red Knot Calidris canutus from Greenland/Ellesmere Island, apparently associated with annual variations in weather on the breeding grounds. Much less is known of the total populations, or fluctuations in these, of most plover (...
(2020) investigated the demographic consequences of long‐distance migration for Sanderlings Calidris alba , an Arctic‐breeding species of sandpiper. Their study population has a remarkable geographic distribution with a breeding range that is concentrated in northeast Greenland and Ellesmere Island, ...
(Table la) were compared with results from similar studies in 30 other study areas in high-arctic Greenland and Ellesmere Island, and the relationship was analysed between wader densities and vegetation and snow cover as well as the coverage of snow-free vegetation by 10 June (when the birds...
