(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Chronic, low intensity herbivory by invertebrates, termed background herbivory, has been understudied in tundra, yet its impacts are likely to increase in a warmer Arctic. The magnitude of these changes is however hard to ...
    • 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 ...
    • Trophic interactions and abiotic factors drive functional and phylogenetic structure of vertebrate herbivore communities across the Arctic tundra biome

      Communities are assembled from species that evolve or colonise a given geographic region, and persist in the face of abiotic conditions and interactions with other species. The evolutionary and colonisation histories of ...
