Dear all, I am looking for any studies out of Russia on climate indices (AO, NAO, PDO, ENSO/SO) and how they affect sea-ice obligate and sea-ice associated birds and mammals. Geographically, we are talking the Barents Sea, Laptev Sea, Kara Sea, East Siberian Sea, Chukchi Sea, Bering Strait, Bering Sea, Svalbard, and any area further north of these. My own literature search has proven futile so far, so any and all help would be very much appreciated; pdf files, general pointers, links, etc. (also if it exists only in Russian, although English is preferred). Thank you, Thea -- Thea Bechshoft, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta Edmonton, AB T6G 2E9 Canada
