Arctic chronobiology and physiology

About

The research group studies physiological adaptations to life at high latitudes in arctic/subarctic fish, birds and mammals, and their tolerance to climatic and other changes to their environment.

Our research is curiosity-driven and aims to understand the physiological mechanisms that enable fish, birds and mammals to cope with the large seasonal variations in climatic conditions, such as light-dark cycles (photoperiod) and food availability/quality. Seasonal strategies such as fattening, coat changes, migration and hibernation are active areas of research for the group. We are also researching the physiological adaptations to lack of oxygen as seen in diving mammals and hibernators.

Our methodology spans from state-of-the-art molecular techniques to whole-animal integrative research. We have excellent research animal facilities for fish, wild birds and mammals, well-equipped specialized laboratories, and good opportunities for field research at our Svalbard field station and more locally around Tromsø.

Infrastructure

The research group is located in the Arctic Biology facility at the UiT campus, which includes offices, laboratories, animal rooms, workshops, store rooms and garages within 4 separate buildings totalling about 2 700 m2. The buildings are located within a fenced area of >50 000 m2 which also includes pens for holding experimental animals. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority has approved the research animal facility for the maintenance of arctic mammals and birds (reindeer, seals, ptarmigan) and hibernation facilities for golden hamsters. The group also operates a field station on Ryøy, ~20 km outside Tromsø, and in Adventdalen on the high-arctic archipelago of Svalbard. 

Recently we modernised our ptarmigan facility, surgery suite and molecular biology laboratories. We also have access the Marine Research Laboratory in Kårvika for our fish work and R/V Helmer Hanssen for our seal research.

Hibernation

Thyroid hormone regulation of mitochondrial activity in hibernation 

Ever wonder how a hibernator re-warms itself? This project focuses on an endocrine tissue called brown fat which produces heat through uncoupled mitochrondria to re-warm the whole animal. In order to prepare for the hibernation season thyroid hormone levels in the brain are altered, this project will look at the effect of changing thyroid hormone levels in the brown adipose tissue on thermogenesis. The student will:

Behavioural analysis of hibernating and non-hibernating strategies 

Golden hamsters prepare for winter by lowering their body temperature to approximately 33C, some take this a step further initiating full hibernation by periodically lowering their body temperature to 8C! This project will compare the two winter strategies calculating activity, food intake and energy expenditure over the winter season. The student will: 

Contact Shona Wood (shona.wood@uit.no ) 

Do ptarmigan use torpor (“hibernation”)? 

Svalbard ptarmigan have remarkable adaptations to survive the arctic winter, increasing fat stores and plumage to maintain body temperature. Torpor is a state metabolic rate suppression which leads to a regulated lowering of body temperature, multiple species of bird use torpor to save energy. The aim of this project is to determine whether the Svalbard ptarmigan employs this strategy. The student will:

Chronobiology - seasonal & circadian

Relationship between calcium appetite and antler growth in reindeer

Antler growth in deer is the only example of regenerative bone growth seen in adult mammals, and is therefore of major biomedical interest (regenerative medicine). Among deer species, reindeer are the only species in which both males and females grow antlers. The seasonal cycle of antler growth and casting entails a high calcium demand which must be met partly through calcium intake in the diet or through mobilization of calcium reserves elsewhere in the skeleton (seasonal osteoporosis). The project will investigate the extent to which seasonal changes in appetite and bone demineralization respond passively to antler calcium demand or to innate circannual programs controlling physiology and behaviour. Using our captive herd of tame reindeer, the project will involve a combination of behavioural monitoring for changes in taste preference, monitoring of antler growth and assessment of hormonal and metabolic parameters.

Overwintering strategies and activity rhythms in a living fossil 

The living fossil lepidurus arcticus is found in ephemeral pools and permanent freshwater lakes on Svalbard. There are two potential avenues of research: 

  1. A characterisation of the daily (circadian) activity and gene rhythms in Lepidurus arcticus
  2. The effect of light and temperature on the timing of hatching of overwintering Lepidurus arcticus 

At present, we don't know if L. arcticus responds to photoperiod, if it has a biological clock and if it has a rhythmic expression of the clock genes. Knowledge of life cycle can be useful for understand the biological rhythms in this and other high arctic species. Moreover, climate change studies predict a special effect in high-latitude lakes (Giorgi et al., 1997), which includes longer ice-free periods. Changes in the length of the ice-free period may have differential effects on the development of species, altering the zooplankton community structure.

Clocks and chronotypes of wild Arctic songbirds

(students interested in joining the breeding season fieldwork should contact Barbara as soon as possible)

We have opportunities to study circadian clocks, daily rhythms and chronotypes of wild free-living songbirds (great tits, blue tits, willow tits or pied flycatchers). Students may develop their own research projects and are welcome to contact Barbara to discuss their ideas. Depending on the season, topics can range from: a) basic characterization of rhythms of individually marked birds in the field (especially during the polar night and midnight sun); b) studying how activity patterns relate to reproductive success and survival; c) impacts of artificial light at night on daily/seasonal rhythms; d) studying the circadian clock of songbirds during the polar night and midnight sun; e) other studies involving behavioural tests (personality, cognition) may also be possible depending on the season.

 Activities can involve:

Evolution of biological clocks in land snails

We are establishing a new animal species to be a model for studying selection of biological clocks in nature: the copse snail. We have the opportunity to study biological clocks, daily rhythms and winter dormancy both in laboratory and in the field. Being a new model species, there are plenty of possibilities for students to develop their own research projects. Students are welcome to get in touch with Barbara to discuss their ideas.

Depending on the season, topics can range from: a) basic characterization of rhythms; b) experimentation with winter dormancy; c) circadian clock during the “midnight sun”; d) big data approach to determine winter dormancy in land snails; e) other studies involving behavioural tests (e.g., personality), heritability of traits, and ecological biogeography may also be possible.

Fish physiology/behaviour

Olfactory imprinting in Atalantic salmon

Salmon have the remarkable ability to navigate from the open sea to their natal streams where they reproduce. We think they achieve this by using a magnetic sense to get them to the right area, then by using their olfactory sense to pilot the rest of their way back home. Some amazing studies done back in the 60s and 70s show that this later part is the result of a memory, or olfactory imprint, which is laid down during a sensitive window when the young salmon, which hatch in the rivers, migrate to sea. We still do not know, however, how the opening and closing of this sensitive window is timed.

In 2023 we imprinted captive salmon to a chemical agent under different day-lengths to determine whether olfactory imprinting is associated with seasonal lighting cues. To determine the imprinting status of these fish we will test their behavioural responses to the chemical agent in a two-choice maze when the fish reach reproductive maturity in autumn 2025. The project will involve hands-on work during the Atlantic salmon behavioural tests, the use of machine learning tools for video analysis, and lab-based molecular assays to determine the endocrine status of the fish during the choice test.
