Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High‐Arctic Shorebirds
We assessed the impact of arctic foxes' predation pressure on two sympatric sandpiper species. Fox activity influenced the breeding ecology of both sandpipers, with earlier nest initiations and lower nest survival rates in areas of high fox activity. ABSTRACT Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental ...

A Gnawing Question: How Do Caribou and Other Arctic Mammals Exploit Shared Bone Resources?
Bones of dead animals are consumed by many species, yet the partitioning of this resource, and the associated ecological and evolutionary implications, remains poorly understood. Using bone modification features found on shed female caribou (Rangifer tarandus) antlers and skeletal bones lying on caribou calving grounds of the Arctic National Wildlife ...

Evolution and Climate Adaptation in Eurasian Gyrfalcon Populations
This reports the influence of past, current and future Arctic climate change to the evolution of Eurasian gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus), and reveals that its current evolutionary potential is insufficient to cope with the ongoing Arctic warming. ABSTRACT Climate change is considered a key driver for shaping ecological and evolutionary processes of ...
