Arctic terrestrial herbivores influence tundra carbon and nutrient dynamics through their
consumption of resources, waste production, and habitat‐modifying behaviors. The strength …

The Arctic is warming at four times the global rate, changing the diversity, activity and
distribution of vectors and associated pathogens. While the Arctic is not often considered a …

Flies (Diptera) damage ungulates far beyond the injury of their bite wounds: they are vectors
of diseases and cause ungulates to lose foraging opportunities due to avoidance behaviour …

Over recent decades, the Arctic has begun facing a range of climate-related challenges,
from rising temperatures to melting ice caps and permafrost thaw, with significant …

Competition for resources and space can drive forage selection of large herbivores from the
bite through the landscape scale. Animal behaviour and foraging patterns are also …

Dytiscids are top invertebrate predators in most freshwater habitats, particularly in lentic
systems such as wetlands and ponds. Adult and larval dytiscids are often considered to be …

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an acute disease of ungulate livestock and wildlife as well as
humans caused by the Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), which can be transmitted by arthropod …

Abstract Knowledge of genetic and species-level diversity for freshwater invertebrates in the
Canadian Arctic is currently limited. Here, we sampled benthic and planktonic invertebrates …

Summer diets are crucial for large herbivores in the subarctic and are affected by weather,
harassment from insects and a variety of environmental changes linked to climate. Yet …

Investigators have speculated that the climate-driven “greening of the Arctic” may benefit
barren-ground caribou populations, but paradoxically many populations have declined in …
