Abstract
Arctic arthropods are essential prey for many vertebrates, including birds, and are critical components of Arctic food webs. Arthropod populations are especially vulnerable to climate change because they are chemically, physiologically, and behaviourally dependent on temperature, a threat which is even more pronounced in the Arctic where the rate of warming is disproportionately high relative to the rest of the planet. This study models the relationship between seasonal changes in arthropod abundance and weather variables at four sites in the Canadian Arctic in order to project arthropod availability for insectivores through time.
