DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4147-x
Abstract: Snow may prevent Arctic herbivores from accessing their forage in winter, forcing them to aggregate in the few patches with limited snow. In High Arctic Greenland, Arctic hare and rock ptarmigan often forage in muskox… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.revpalbo.2021.104510
Abstract: Abstract Plant species with predominantly tropical and subtropical modern distributions (or meso-megathermal species) penetrated into the highest southern latitudes of the American continent during the global warmest periods of the Cenozoic. These species – usually… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2213906119
Abstract: One of the most fundamental questions of ecology is, "How can species coexist?" A large body of ecological theory has predicted that co-existing species with shared, potentially limiting resources must differ in some way to… read more here.
