Effects of changing permafrost and snow conditions on tundra wildlife: critical places and times
Arctic Science, 2017 The change of water phase around 0 °C has considerable impacts on wildlife ecology because liquid and solid water strongly differ in their insulating capability, mechanical resistance, and light reflectance.

Behavioural responses of a gamebird to human encounters across the hunting season
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.We examined the behavioural adaptation of rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta in response to human encounters across the hunting season. We conducted disturbance experiments in two different parts of the species' range, in subarctic (Iceland) and in alpine (Italy) habitats.

Plant phenology and seasonal nitrogen availability in Arctic snowbed communities [PDF]
, 2006 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2006This study was part of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) and examined the effects of increased winter snow depth and decreased growing season length on the phenology of four arctic plant species (

Uniform female-biased sex ratios in alpine willows [PDF]
, 2012 Premise of the study: The development of biased sex ratios in dioecious plant species has been ascribed to either (1) factors influencing differential adult mortality of male and female plants or (2) factors acting at an early life stage that determine ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Seasonal changes shape herbivore behaviour by altering forage availability and habitat conditions; however, few studies integrate diet and habitat selection data across temporal scales. This study uses seasonality as a unifying framework to combine fine‐scale GPS‐based habitat selection data with broader‐scale dietary information from stable isotope ...

Preliminary landscape mapping and analys of ecological features of the island of Vaigach
RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2013 Selected on the basis of decoding of space pictures and analysis of the published data of natural-territorial complexes provide a first idea of the uniqueness of the landscape of the island of Vaigach. Climate warming will cause first of all the activity

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Solar Radiation Transfer Through a Subarctic Shrub Canopy [PDF]
, 2007 Much of the low Arctic is covered with shrubs that are partially buried by snow in winter and become exposed during melt. This study presents measurements and modeling of shortwave radiation reflection and extinction by a deciduous shrub canopy emerging ...
