  • Circumpolar terrestrial arthropod monitoring

    Open AccessMark A Gillespie, Mark A K Gillespie et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020

    The terrestrial chapter of the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Programme (CBMP) has the potential to bring international multi-taxon, long-term monitoring together, but detailed fundamental species information for Arctic arthropods lags far behind that for vertebrates and plants. In this paper, we demonstrate this major challenge to the CBMP by focussing on spiders (Order: Araneae) as an example group. We collate available circumpolar data on…

  • Status and trends of terrestrial arthropod abundance and diversity in the North Atlantic region of the Arctic

    Open AccessMark A Gillespie, Mark A K Gillespie et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 2References: 43

    The Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Programme (CBMP) provides an opportunity to improve our knowledge of Arctic arthropod diversity, but initial baseline studies are required to summarise the status and trends of planned target groups of species known as Focal Ecosystem Components (FECs). We begin this process by collating available data for a relatively well-studied region in the Arctic, the North Atlantic region, summarising the diversity o…

  • Arctic terrestrial biodiversity status and trends

    Open AccessJason J Taylor, James P Lawler et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 3References: 42

    This review provides a synopsis of the main findings of individual papers in the special issue Terrestrial Biodiversity in a Rapidly Changing Arctic. The special issue was developed to inform the State of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Report developed by the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), Arctic Council working group. Salient points about the status and trends of Arct…

  • High Arctic plant phenology is determined by snowmelt patterns but duration of phenological periods is fixed

    Open AccessPhilipp Semenchuk, Philipp R Semenchuk et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    The duration of specific periods within a plant's life cycle are critical for plant growth and performance. In the High Arctic, the start of many of these phenological periods is determined by snowmelt date, which may change in a changing climate. It has been suggested that the end of these periods during late-season are triggered by external cues, such as day length, light quality or temperature, leading to the hypothesis that earlier or later s…
