Snow covers Arctic and boreal regions (ABRs) for approximately 9 months of the year, thus
snowscapes dominate the form and function of tundra and boreal ecosystems. In recent …

The rapid climatic and environmental changes observed in the Arctic and across the globe
in general call for reliable model projections. In recent years our understanding of ongoing …

For wildlife inhabiting snowy environments, snow properties such as onset date, depth,
strength, and distribution can influence many aspects of ecology, including movement …

To persist in seasonal environments, animals track, exploit, and store energy when food is
plentiful. Seasonal changes in plant phenology that are predictable allow animals to track …

Arctic ecosystems are changing dramatically with warmer and wetter conditions resulting in
complex interactions between herbivores and their forage. We investigated how Svalbard …

Interest continues to grow in Arctic megafaunal ecological engineering, but, since the mass
extinction of megafauna~ 12–15 ka, key physiographic variables and available forage …

Current climatic models and projections forecast further increases in air temperature in the
Arctic in the future. Therefore, new knowledge concerning the variability of air and soil …

Understanding drivers of space use and habitat selection is essential for management and
conservation, especially under rapid environmental change. Here, we develop summer and …

Human‐wildlife conflicts are widespread around the world and result in property damage,
disease spillover, financial loss, and decreased tolerance of wildlife. Increasing elk (Cervus …

Background Caribou and reindeer across the Arctic spend more than two thirds of their lives
moving in snow. Yet snow-specific mechanisms driving their winter ecology and potentially …
