Effective methods for measuring sudden environmental changes are crucial for understanding how cities respond to shifts in human activity. This study examines atmospheric metal outputs during the COVID-19 restrictions using honey samples collected from three land use types in Brussels Capital Region (BCR), Belgium, and Metro Vancouver Regional District (MVRD), Canada to study changes as the result of restrictions. By comparing these cities with distinct sizes, ages, and structures, we assess how urban environments responded to pandemic-induced restrictions.

- Tidewater glacier fronts are key foraging hotspots in the Arctic that can significantly affect the movements and spatial distribution of marine predators, specifically black-legged kittiwakes.
- Kittiwakes tend to forage primarily near their breeding colonies, favoring glacier fronts within 18 km, which leads to fine-scale spatial segregation between nearby colonies.
- The study supports the idea that predictable foraging areas like glacier fronts influence predator movement patterns and inter-colony spacing among seabirds.
