      Spatial variation in plant chemical defence towards herbivores can help us understand variation in herbivore top–down control of shrubs in the Arctic and possibly also shrub responses to global warming. Less defended, ...
    • Genomic Consequences of Fragmentation in the Endangered Fennoscandian Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) 

      Cockerill, Christopher A.; Hasselgren, Malin; Dussex, Nicolas; Dalén, Love; von Seth, Johanna; Angerbjörn, Anders; Wallén, Johan F.; Landa, Arild; Eide, Nina Elisabeth; Flagstad, Øystein; Ehrich, Dorothee; Sokolov, Aleksandr; Sokolova, Natalya; Norén, Karin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Accelerating climate change is causing severe habitat fragmentation in the Arctic, threatening the persistence of many cold-adapted species. The Scandinavian arctic fox (V. lagopus) is highly fragmented, with a once ...
    • Growth rings show limited evidence for ungulates’ potential to suppress shrubs across the Arctic

      Global warming has pronounced effects on tundra vegetation, and rising mean temperatures increase plant growth potential across the Arctic biome. Herbivores may counteract the warming impacts by reducing plant growth, but ...
    • Hiding in the background: community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome 

      Rheubottom, Sarah I.; Barrio, Isabel C.; Kozlov, Mikhail V.; Alatalo, Juha M.; Andersson, Tommi; Asmus, Ashley L.; Baubin, Capucine; Brearley, Francis Q.; Egelkraut, Dagmar; Ehrich, Dorothee; Gauthier, Gilles; Jonsdottir, Ingibjørg; Konieczka, Sophia; Lévesque, Esther; Olofsson, Johan; Prevéy, Janet S.; Slevan-Tremblay, Guillaume; Sokolov, Aleksandr; Sokolova, Natalia; Sokovnina, Svetlana; Speed, James David Mervyn; Suominen, Otso; Zverev, Vitali; Hik, David S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Invertebrate herbivores depend on external temperature for growth and metabolism. Continued warming in tundra ecosys-tems is proposed to result in increased invertebrate herbivory. However, empirical data about how current ...
