DOI: 10.1007/s00300-019-02474-8
Abstract: The Arctic is experiencing rapid climatic and environmental changes, which could alter diets of nonmigratory herbivores both within and between populations. Here, we used carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N) in hair… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-020-02769-1
Abstract: Many apex predator populations are recolonizing old areas and dispersing to new ones, with potential consequences for their prey species and for livestock. An increasing population of the White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) has settled north… read more here.
