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 …

Interaction webs in arctic ecosystems: Determinants of arctic change?
How species interact modulate their dynamics, their response to environmental change, and
ultimately the functioning and stability of entire communities. Work conducted at Zackenberg …

Assessing changes in arthropod predator–prey interactions through DNA‐based gut content analysis—variable environment, stable diet
Analysing the structure and dynamics of biotic interaction networks and the processes
shaping them is currently one of the key fields in ecology. In this paper, we develop a novel …

Warming reverses top-down effects of predators on belowground ecosystem function in Arctic tundra
Predators can disproportionately impact the structure and function of ecosystems relative to
their biomass. These effects may be exacerbated under warming in ecosystems like the …

Accounting for species interactions is necessary for predicting how arctic arthropod communities respond to climate change
Species interactions are known to structure ecological communities. Still, the influence of
climate change on biodiversity has primarily been evaluated by correlating individual …

Earlier springs enable high-Arctic wolf spiders to produce a second clutch
Spiders at southern latitudes commonly produce multiple clutches, but this has not been
observed at high latitudes where activity seasons are much shorter. Yet the timing of …

Threats from the air: Damselfly predation on diverse prey taxa
To understand the diversity and strength of predation in natural communities, researchers
must quantify the total amount of prey species in the diet of predators. Metabarcoding …

Egg size versus egg number trade-off in the alpine-tundra wolf spider, Pardosa palustris (Araneae: Lycosidae)
N Hein, MR Brendel, H Feilhauer, OD Finch, J Löffler - Polar Biology, 2018 - Springer
The effect of environmental conditions on reproductive traits in spiders is not completely
understood. We studied the trade-off between the egg number and egg size of a common …
