Climate changes in the Arctic may have important consequences for the breeding of Arctic birds, though few studies are available to evaluate the possible effects. I studied the breeding phenology of kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) breeding at two colonies (Krykkjefjellet and Ossian Sarsfjellet) in Kon...
