Arctic tundra shrubification: a review of mechanisms and impacts on ecosystem carbon balance
Vegetation composition shifts, and in particular, shrub expansion across the Arctic tundra
are some of the most important and widely observed responses of high-latitude ecosystems …

Climate change impacts on wildlife in a High Arctic archipelago–Svalbard, Norway
The Arctic is warming more rapidly than other region on the planet, and the northern Barents
Sea, including the Svalbard Archipelago, is experiencing the fastest temperature increases …

Climate change alters the structure of arctic marine food webs due to poleward shifts of boreal generalists
Climate-driven poleward shifts, leading to changes in species composition and relative
abundances, have been recently documented in the Arctic. Among the fastest moving …

Contrasting effects of summer and winter warming on body mass explain population dynamics in a food‐limited Arctic herbivore
The cumulative effects of climate warming on herbivore vital rates and population dynamics
are hard to predict, given that the expected effects differ between seasons. In the Arctic …

No complexity–stability relationship in empirical ecosystems
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for stability and persistence of ecosystems is
one of the greatest challenges in ecology. Robert May showed that, contrary to intuition …

Homage to Hersteinsson and Macdonald: climate warming and resource subsidies cause red fox range expansion and Arctic fox decline
B Elmhagen, D Berteaux, RM Burgess, D Ehrich… - Polar …, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
Climate change can have a marked effect on the distribution and abundance of some
species, as well as their interspecific interactions. In 1992, before ecological effects of …

A boreal invasion in response to climate change? Range shifts and community effects in the borderland between forest and tundra
It has been hypothesized that climate warming will allow southern species to advance north
and invade northern ecosystems. We review the changes in the Swedish mammal and bird …

Predicting the consequences of species loss using size‐structured biodiversity approaches
Understanding the consequences of species loss in complex ecological communities is one
of the great challenges in current biodiversity research. For a long time, this topic has been …

Bringing Elton and Grinnell together: a quantitative framework to represent the biogeography of ecological interaction networks
Biogeography has traditionally focused on the spatial distribution and abundance of
species. Both are driven by the way species interact with one another, but only recently …

Exposing the structure of an Arctic food web
How food webs are structured has major implications for their stability and dynamics. While
poorly studied to date, arctic food webs are commonly assumed to be simple in structure …
