Effective governance is crucial for the success of conservation projects aimed at protecting wildlife populations and supporting human well‐being. However, few large‐scale, comprehensive syntheses have been conducted on the effects of different environmental governance types on conservation outcomes (i.e., biological and ecological effectiveness or effects of conservation on human well‐being), and clarity on the quantity and q...

Livers of caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus ) from Canada ( n = 146), Greenland ( n = 30), Svalbard ( n = 7), and Sweden ( n = 60) were analyzed for concentrations of eight perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids and four perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids. In Canadian caribou, PFNA (range < 0.01–7.4 ng/g wet weight, ww) and PFUnDA (<0.01–5.6 ng/g ww) dominated, whereas PFOS predominated in samples from South Greenland, Svalbard, a...

The fluxes of several organochlorine compounds (OCs) to and from a high‐altitude lake were calculated to determine the relative contributions of rainfall, snowfall, runoff, gas absorption and volatilization, sedimentation, and outflow. Runoff inputs, particularly from a glaciated catchment, and gas absorption were major sources of many OCs. Losses by volatilization, outflow, and sedimentation were also important transport path...
