Geographic variation in the intensity of warming and phenological mismatch between Arctic shorebirds and invertebrates
Responses to climate change can vary across functional groups and trophic levels, leading
to a temporal decoupling of trophic interactions or “phenological mismatches.” Despite a …

Do hyperabundant Arctic-nesting geese pose a problem for sympatric species?
Arctic-breeding geese are at record high population levels and are causing significant
changes to some of their breeding and staging habitats. These changes could influence …

Differential arthropod responses to warming are altering the structure of Arctic communities
The Arctic is experiencing some of the fastest rates of warming on the planet. Although many
studies have documented responses to such warming by individual species, the …

Nestling growth rates in relation to food abundance and weather in the Arctic
Raising nestlings to fledging is energetically demanding for songbirds, requiring parents to
balance several major tradeoffs. Nestling growth rates are highly susceptible to variation in …
