Bird communities of the Arctic shrub tundra of Yamal: habitat specialists and generalists
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
The ratio of habitat generalists to specialists in birds has been suggested as a good indicator of ecosystem changes due to e.g. climate change and other anthropogenic perturbations. Most studies focusing on this functional component of biodiversity originate, however, from temperate regions. The Eurasian Arctic tundra is currently experiencing an unprecedented combination of climate change, change ...
Assessing the causes of breeding failure among the rough-legged buzzard (Buteo lagopus) during the nestling period
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
When food becomes scarce, the youngest nestlings in facultatively siblicidal raptor species typically die and such events are usually attributed to siblicide. Here we present results from an investigation in the Arctic tundra, in which rough-legged buzzard (Buteo lagopus) breeding success was monitored with regular visits to nests and time-lapse cameras that continuously recorded the activity of ...
