Disentangling the roles of plant functional diversity and plaint traits in regulating plant nitrogen accumulation and denitrification in freshwaters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. There is a growing recognition that functional measures of diversity, based on quantification of functionally important species traits, are useful for explaining variation in ecosystem processes. However, the mechanisms ... -
Exclusion of invertebrates influences saprotrophic fungal community and wood decay rate in an experimental field study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Decomposer communities perform an essential ecosystem function by recycling nutrients. However, the effect of higher trophic levels on microbial decomposer communities and rate of decomposition is poorly understood. We ... -
Foraging tactics in dynamic sea-ice habitats affect individual state in a long-ranging seabird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)1. Individual heterogeneity in diet and foraging behaviour is common in wild animal populations, and can be a strong determinant of how populations respond to environmental changes. Within populations, variation in ... -
From steps to home range formation: species-specific movement upscaling among sympatric ungulates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)1.Animals move to interact with the environment in order to find food resources and cover.Intrinsic characteristics affecting feeding and antipredatory strategies likely shape variation inmovement patterns and home range ... -
Little impact of over-winter parasitism on a free-ranging ungulate in the high Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Macroparasites have a central place in wildlife ecology because they have the potential to regulate host populations through effects on reproduction and/or survival. However, there remains a paucity of studies that have ... -
Mercury exposure, stress and prolactin secretion in an Arctic seabird: an experimental study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Life-history theory predicts that long-lived organisms should reduce parental effort under inclement environmental conditions in order to favour long-term survival. Seabirds are long-lived top predators often exposed to ... -
Persistent reduction of segment growth and photosynthesis in a widespread and important sub-Arctic moss species after cessation of three years of experimental winter warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Winter is a period of dormancy for plants of cold environments. However, winter climate is changing, leading to an increasing frequency of stochastic warm periods (winter warming events) and concomitant reductions in ... -
Shifts in risk sensitivity and resource availability alter fat stores for a large mammal following extreme winter conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)For species that inhabit environments where resource availability may be unpredictable, balance of resource allocation to life-history traits can have heightened consequences for survival, reproduction, and ultimately, ...
