Background invertebrate herbivory on dwarf birch (Betula glandulosa-nana complex) increases with temperature and precipitation across the tundra biome
(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 ... -
Hiding in the background: community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome
(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 ... -

The terrestrial invertebrate fauna of Edgeøya, Svalbard: Arctic landscape community composition reflects biogeography patterns
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Colonisation and immigration history is often neglected as a factor when investigating community or species distribution patterns. However, for dynamic systems that are still reacting to large-scale environmental change, ...
