• Arctic avian predators synchronise their spring migration with the northern progression of snowmelt 

      Curk, Teja; Pokrovsky, Ivan; Lecomte, Nicolas; Aarvak, Tomas; Brinker, David F.; Burnham, Kurt; Dietz, Andreas; Dixon, Andrew; Franke, Alastair; Gauthier, Gilles; Jacobsen, Karl-Otto; Kidd, Jeff; Lewis, Stephen B.; Øien, Ingar J.; Sokolov, Aleksandr; Sokolov, Vasiliy; Solheim, Roar; Weidensaul, Scott; Wiebe, Karen; Wikelski, Martin; Therrien, Jean-François; Safi, Kamran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Migratory species display a range of migration patterns between irruptive (facultative) to regular (obligate), as a response to different predictability of resources. In the Arctic, snow directly influences resource ...
    • Density‑dependent winter survival of immatures in an irruptive raptor with pulsed breeding 

      McCabe, Rebecca A.; Therrien, Jean‑François; Wiebe, Karen; Gauthier, Gilles; Brinker, David; Weidensaul, Scott; Reid, Donald; Doyle, Frank I.; Jacobsen, Karl-Otto; Aarvak, Tomas; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Solheim, Roar; Fitzgerald, Guy; Smith, Norman; Bates, Kirk; Fuller, Mark; Miller, Erica; Elliott, Kyle H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Highly mobile predators can show strong numerical responses to pulsed resources, sometimes resulting in irruptions where large numbers of young invade landscapes at a continental scale. High production of young in irruption ...
    • Status assessment and conservation priorities for a circumpolar raptor: the Snowy Owl Bubo scandiacus 

      McCabe, Rebecca A.; Aarvak, Tomas; Aebischer, Adrian; Bates, Kirk; Bêty, Joël; Bollache, Loïc; Brinker, David; Driscoll, Cindy; Elliot, Kyle H.; Fitzgerald, Guy; Fuller, M.; Gauthier, Gilles; Gilg, Olivier; Gousy-Leblanc, Marianne; Holt, Denver; Jacobsen, Karl-Otto; Johnson, David; Kulikova, Olga; Lang, Johannes; Lecomte, Nicolas; McClure, Christopher; McDonald, Tom; Menyushina, Irina; Miller, Erica; Morozov, V.V.; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Robillard, Audrey; Rolek, Brian; Sittler, Benoît; Smith, Norman; Sokolov, Alexandr; Sokolova, N.; Solheim, Roar; Soloviev, Mikhail; Stoffel, Marten; Weidensaul, Scott; Wiebe, Karen L.; Zazelenchuck, Dan; Therrien, Jean‑François (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      The global population and status of Snowy Owls Bubo scandiacus are particularly challenging to assess because individuals are irruptive and nomadic, and the breeding range is restricted to the remote circumpolar Arctic ...
