Little auk study – the history: 1970 – 1980 Norwegian and Polish studies on LA cenzus, feeding, growth (M.Norderhaug, L. Stempniewicz) 1979-1990: massive auk diet analyses at IOPAS For projects by NPI (F. Mehlum), UG (L. Stempniewicz), UB (J. Taylor) 1985- 1990 Norwegian and Polish studies on energy requirement, ecophysiology of Alle alle (GW Gabrielsen, F. Mehlum, M. Konarzewski, J. Taylor) 1991 – recognition that Calanus in Alle alle diet is NOT a C. finmarchicus (S. Kwaśniewski & J. Koszteyn, IOPAS) 1992 – sampling and paper from Franz Josef Land colony (Weslawski, Stempniewicz, Galaktionov 1994) 1994 – sampling and paper from Bjornoya colony (Weslawski, Mehlum, Stempniewicz) 2001 – start of regular USA-Polish cooperation in Hornsund on auks & zoopl. (Karnovsky et al.2003, Ann Harding ) 2004 – sampling diet from NE Greenland (A. Harding) 2005 – sampling zooplankton & diet at NE Grenland (A. Harding & Wiktor junior) 2005 - Formulation of two clusters at IPY4 that cover the climate, ocean, plankton and seabirds coupling (SF Petersen, S. Kwasniewski, L. Stempniewicz, K. Drinkwater)
