Scenario development helps people think about a broad variety of possible futures; however, the global environmental change community has thus far developed few positive scenarios for future planet and humanity. Those that have been tend to focus on role common, large-scale external drivers, such as technology or policy, even though pathways are often driven by surprising bottom-up initiatives most assume unchanging. We describe an approach, pioneered in Southern Africa tested here new...
A rigorous synthesis of the sea-ice ecosystem and linked services highlights that supports all 4 service categories, ecosystems meet criteria for ecologically or biologically significant marine areas, global emissions driving climate change are directly to demise its services, deserves specific attention in evaluation protected area planning. The outlines (1) supporting provided form habitat, including feeding grounds nurseries microbes, meiofauna, fish, birds mammals (particularly key...
Abstract Variations in larval fish growth rates are largely the result of variability biotic and abiotic characteristics feeding environment experienced by each individual. An assessment an individual's overall success (i.e. accumulation utilizable organic matter) can best be achieved at time capture when relationships among environment, short-term as defined gut content long-term accumulated contrasted. Here, we investigated between average growth, success, individual across a range taxa...
Managing Arctic marine resources to be resilient environmental changes requires knowledge of how climate change is affecting food webs and fisheries. Changes fishery will have major implications for coastal Indigenous communities whose livelihoods, health, cultures are strongly connected Understanding these broad social-ecological a transdisciplinary approach bringing together contrasting complementary disciplines ways knowing. Here, we examine climatic proxies, ecological, indicators...
Climate change affects Arctic marine ecosystems, the ecosystem services they provide, and human well-being that relies on these services. The impacts of climate in elsewhere involve cascading effects feedbacks flow across social-ecological systems (SES), such as when sea ice loss alters food security through changes distribution animals. These cascades social ecological can exacerbate or lead to surprising outcomes. Identifying where may occur SES help anticipate, even prevent unexpected...
Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus) is a salmonid fish that the second-most consumed country food species by Nunavimmiut. Its nutritional quality determined omega-3 fatty acids and carotenoid pigments. Those molecules cannot be synthetized must acquired through diet. We sampled in 10 rivers from three marine coastal regions of Nunavik (Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait, Ungava Bay), described diet (stable isotopes δ 13 C 15 N) flesh (fatty carotenoids, measured chromatography) assessed associations...
Abstract The boreal Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus) was recently detected in southeastern Beaufort Sea (Canadian Arctic), numbering as the second most abundant ichthyoplankton species after polar cod (Boreogadus saida) 2011. We contrast hatching periods, growth, prey selectivity, and feeding success of planktonic stages two species. Polar hatched from January to mid-July early September, precluding any competition among larval stages. By weight, larvae grew 3.7 times faster than...
Abstract Arctic small-scale fisheries are essential for the livelihoods, cultures, nutrition, economy, and food security of Indigenous communities. Their sustainable management in rapidly changing is thus a key priority. Fisheries complex systems such as would benefit from integrative approaches that explicitly seek to build resilience. Yet, resilience rarely articulated an explicit goal management. Here, we first describe how marine anadromous throughout North has used notion through...
For decades, Indigenous voices have called for more collaborative and inclusive research practices. Interest in community-collaborative is consequently growing among university-based researchers Canada. However, many receive little formal training on how to collaboratively conduct with communities. This particularly problematic early-career (ECRs) whose fieldwork often involves interacting To address this lack of training, two peer-led workshops Canadian ECRs were organized 2016 2017 the...
Natural hazards can trigger disasters that lead to the collapse and reorganization of social-ecological systems. This involve systems transitioning more positive trajectories. The Panarchy framework, which conceptualizes as dynamic interrelated adaptive cycles, is a common conceptual framework for understanding system reorganization. However, it unclear how inequalities, social mechanisms known influence disaster recovery outcomes, shape system's cycle post-disaster. Understanding roles...
Climate change is disrupting food security around the world, with uneven impacts between regions and populations. Through direct indirect pathways, climate affects availability, accessibility, utilization, stability of systems. In turn, climate-related insecurity may cause or exacerbate mental health problems by affecting biological, psychological, social, cultural determinants health. These vary based on age, gender, sociocultural context, they intersect other forms socioeconomic precarity....
Did you know that ecosystems support the wellbeing of humans by simply existing? An ecosystem describes living things in an area, their interactions, and environment. The ways benefit are called services. There several types services: supporting (they animals homes), provisioning provide food other materials), cultural our hobbies activities, such as tourism arts), or regulating regulate climate, for example taking up carbon dioxide). Understanding importance through its services helps guide...
For decades, Indigenous voices have called for research practices that are more collaborative and inclusive. At the same time, researchers becoming aware of importance community-collaborative research. However, in Canada, many receive little formal training on how to collaboratively conduct with communities. This is particularly problematic early-career (ECRs) whose fieldwork often involves interacting To address this lack training, two peer-led workshops Canadian ECRs were organized 2016...
