      This review provides a synopsis of the main findings of individual papers in the special issue <i>Terrestrial Biodiversity in a Rapidly Changing Arctic</i>. The special issue was developed to inform the <i>State of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Report</i> developed by the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), Arctic Council ...

      Spatial variation in plant chemical defence towards herbivores can help us understand variation in herbivore top–down control of shrubs in the Arctic and possibly also shrub responses to global warming. Less defended, non-resinous shrubs could be more influenced by herbivores than more defended, resinous shrubs. However, sparse field measurements limit our current understanding of how much of the ...
    • Northern Fennoscandia via the British Isles: evidence for a novel postglacial recolonization route by winter moth (Operophtera brumata) 

      Andersen, Jeremy C.; Havill, Nathan P.; Griffin, Brian P.; Jepsen, Jane U.; Hagen, Snorre B.; Klemola, Tero; Barrio, Isabel C.; Kjeldgaard, Sofie A.; Høye, Toke T.; Murlis, John; Baranchikov, Yuri N.; Selikhovkin, Andrey V.; Vindstad, Ole Petter Laksforsmo; Caccone, Adalgisa; Elkinton, J (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The frequency and severity of outbreaks by pestiferous insects is increasing globally, likely as a result of human-mediated introductions of non-native organisms. However, it is not always apparent whether an outbreak is the result of a recent introduction of an evolutionarily naïve population, or of recent disturbance acting on an existing population that arrived previously during natural range ...
    • Parasitoids indicate major climate-induced shifts in arctic communities

      Climatic impacts are especially pronounced in the Arctic, which as a region is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe. Here, we investigate how mean climatic conditions and rates of climatic change impact parasitoid insect communities in 16 localities across the Arctic. We focus on parasitoids in a widespread habitat, Dryas heathlands, and describe parasitoid community composition in terms ...
