| congruent responses to weather variability in high arctic herbivores. | assessing the role of weather in the dynamics of wildlife populations is a pressing task in the face of rapid environmental change. rodents and ruminants are abundant herbivore species in most arctic ecosystems, many of which are experiencing particularly rapid climate change. their different life-history characteristics, with the exception of their trophic position, suggest that they should show different responses to environmental variation. here we show that the only mammalian herbivores on t ... | 2012 | 23015455 |
