Sea ice phenology and primary productivity pulses shape breeding success in Arctic seabirds
Spring sea ice phenology regulates the timing of the two consecutive pulses of marine autotrophs that form the base of the Arctic marine food webs. This timing has been suggested to be the single most essential driver of secondary production and the efficiency with which biomass and energy are trans...

Spring sea ice phenology regulates the timing of the two consecutive pulses of marine autotrophs that form the base of the Arctic marine food webs.

We provide evidence that interannual changes in the seasonal patterns of marine productivity may impact the breeding performance of little auks and Br?nnich's guillemots.
