A Picky Predator and Its Prey: How Snow Conditions and Ptarmigan Abundance Impact Gyrfalcon Feeding Behaviour and Breeding Success

ABSTRACT Species interactions can be altered by climate change but can also mediate its effects. The gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) and the ptarmigan (Lagopus spp.) form a predator–prey couple that reflects the dynamics of boreal, tundra, and alpine ecosystems. To determine how climate change may impa...
