Experimental and field evidence indicate that islet-nesting tundra birds experience reduced nest predation and benefit indirectly from high snow goose densities

The paper examines how islet microhabitat characteristics and snow goose density affect nest survival in tundra birds, finding islets provide partial refuge from arctic fox predation.

Integrating predator energetic balance, risk-taking behavior and microhabitat in functional response: Untangling indirect interactions in a multispecies vertebrate community

The paper integrates predator energetics and behavior into a functional response model to explain indirect interactions in a vertebrate community, finding that predator energetic balance drives changes in prey interactions.

Timing matters: phenological constraints and predation shape Arctic community structure

The paper examines how snowmelt timing and predation influence species occurrence and community structure in Arctic ecosystems over 10 years.

Predicting space use patterns of a territorial top predator: from individual movement decisions to Arctic fox space use

This study develops a predictive model of Arctic fox space use using tracking data and agent-based simulations, showing it accurately forecasts movement patterns based on habitat and ecological factors.
