      Lemmings are a key component of tundra food webs and changes in their dynamics can affect the whole ecosystem. We present a comprehensive overview of lemming monitoring and research activities, and assess recent trends ...
    • The paradox of searching efficiency or why are violent population cycles so uncommon in terrestrial ecosystem 

      Oksanen, Lauri; Vuorinen, Katariina Elsa M; Oksanen, Tarja Maarit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The searching efficiency of predators depends on the balance between the adaptations of the predator and the counter-adaptations of the prey. In this evolutionary race, the prey should normally have the upper hand, as it ...
    • Where do the treeless tundra areas of northern highlands fit in the global biome system: toward an ecologically natural subdivision of the tundra biome
