| Popis: | The Arctic is changing rapidly, introducing new challenges and opportunities for animals. Rising air temperatures are driving dramatic shifts in habitat quality and availability, including increased shrub abundance, reduced pond area, and reduced springtime snow cover (Hinzman et al. 2005). In some cases, these changes have net positive effects for particular species, as exemplified by northward range expansions of moose and beavers following shrubification (Tape et al. 2016, 2018). |
