Alternative models for cyclic lemming dynamics by Hao Wang, Yang Kuang

“…We start this seriesof models from the Barrow model, a well formulated model for thedynamics of food-lemming interaction at Point Barrow (Alaska, USA)with sufficient experimental data. Our work suggests that anautonomous system can indeed be a good approximation to themoss-lemming dynamics at Point Barrow. …”

The importance of method selection when estimating diet composition with quantitative fatty acid signature analysis. by Jeffrey F Bromaghin, Todd C Atwood, Karyn D Rode

“…We investigated the influence of variations in QFASA analytical methods on diet estimates by re-estimating the diet composition of polar bears from the Alaska portion of the SBS using three different methods and found that differences among the three sets of estimates were substantial. …”

Plant interactions associated with a directional shift in the richness range size relationship during the Glacial-Holocene transition in the Arctic by Ying Liu, Simeon Lisovski, Jérémy Courtin, Kathleen R. Stoof-Leichsenring, Ulrike Herzschuh

“…We explore whether the relationship holds over time, and whether plant speciation, environmental heterogeneity, or plant interactions are major factors of the relationship within northeast Siberia and Alaska. By analysing sedimentary ancient DNA from seven lakes, we reconstruct plant richness, biotic environmental heterogeneity, and mean range-size over the last 30,000 years. …”

Innovative approach for modelling gravity-induced signal path variations of VLBI radio telescopes by Michael Lösler, Cornelia Eschelbach, Ansgar Greiwe, Boye Zhou, Lucia McCallum

“…The most commonly used approach for modelling signal path variations was developed in 1988 during investigations at the 26-m VLBI radio telescope in Fairbanks (Alaska). This approach considers only homologous deformation of the receiving unit and takes into account three main deformation patterns affecting the signal path. …”
