Arctic freshwater biodiversity is rapidly changing due to climate warming, resource extraction, infrastructure development, and landscape transformation. To improve understanding, predict future responses, and inform policy formulation, research needs must be clearly identified. Using a horizon scan survey, Arctic freshwater experts from government, international agencies, and Indigenous Peoples identified 77 biodiversity rese...

In the context of neurodegeneration, activated microglia facilitate inflammation via secretion of TNF-α, IL-1α, and C1q. Astrocytes exposed to this signaling array polarize to a reactive inflammatory phenotype, termed A1 or A1-like. Astrocytes are essential for neuronal survival, synaptic support, and blood–brain barrier (BBB) function, but A1-like astrocytes upregulate inflammatory gene expression, downregulate neurotrophic f...

Lakes and ponds can be hotspots for CO 2 and CH 4 emissions, but Arctic studies remain scarce. Here we present diffusive and ebullition fluxes collected over several years from 30 ponds and 4 lakes formed on an organic‐rich polygonal tundra landscape. Water body morphology strongly affects the mixing regime—and thus the seasonal patterns in gas emissions—with ice‐out and autumnal turnover periods identified as hot moments in m...
