Being common is rather unusual. It’s far more common for a species to be rare, spending its existence in small densities throughout its range. How such rare species persist, particularly in an environment undergoing rapid climate change, inspired a 15-year study in arctic Greenland from the ��ϲ�ͼ��, Davis.

Melting Sea Ice May Be Speeding Nature’s Clock in the Arctic
