    ecological role of marine mammals in the Arctic Ocean. Data stem from the interdisciplinary Arctic FRAM ocean observatory, which provides a unique opportunity to gain insight into these interrelationships [...] environmental alterations triggered by climate change, such as sea-ice decline. Using data collected in Fram Strait, I am investigating potential impacts of climate change on the acoustic presence of endemic [...] Patterns in the Acoustic Presence and Vocal Behaviour of Bowhead Whales (Balaena mysticetus) in Eastern Fram Strait Diandra Duengen (2019), Master Uni Oldenburg Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) distribution
