An American biologist has found evidence that Arctic warming due to climate change is causing a change in the distribution of the black guillemot bird species. Since 1990, numbers of black guillemot pairs breeding on Alaska's north coast have fallen from 225 to 110. The cause is believe to be a reduction of sea ice in the area.
