Arctic animals
Populations in a warming climate, research by Jouke Prop
The studies are carried out on the tundra stretch of Nordenskiöldkysten, Spitsbergen, where barnacle goose and pink-footed goose are the main herbivores, and arctic fox and polar bear serve as top predators. We focus on three main themes.
- Climate change and the phenology mismatch theory. More
- Population dynamics. More
- Polar bear predatory behaviour. More
